High light unconstrained elements upon request

[laroot]

I do like the program, I'm glad that I found it, and want to learn more. . .  

Although a reasonably fluent Sketchup user, I'm a rank beginner on Fusion 360.  My first model attempt resulted in 1 of 3 sketches not being fully constrained, and I could not identify the problem.  When I posted to the forum, others replied that the sketch was all black and, thus, should be fully constrained.  My take away is that the existing convert-to-black-to-show-a-constrained-item is not fully successful. 

The software must have some metric that identifies an element as un-constrained.  It would add value if, when faced with not identifying why a sketch is not fully constrained, I could have the program highlight, box in, flash or do something to show me the issue.  Detroit provides idiot lights for drivers; you guys are smarter, so why can't you provide an idiot notice to your users?

Very respectfully,

Larry

Good idea.

Even better would be the ability to animate the degrees of freedom to avoid having to try different constraint types

This is an excellent idea, I was about to post an idea to create a counter that indicates how many unconstrained pieces of geometry still exist in a sketch however this would still require the user to hunt them down and in a complex sketch this can be problematic.  Your suggestion is elegant,  I hope AD returns focus to the user interface part of Sketching sometime soon, after all it pretty much the building block of the whole concept.
