More clarity when editing/working with constraints.

More clarity when editing/working with constraints.

Constraints can be hard to see and even click on. I wish that when I was editing them I could see their icons much clearer, that I don't click on edges by mistake when I am trying to select a constraint because they are overlapping, and most of all see connection lines for highlighted constraints so I know exactly what they are affecting.

Sometimes when I try to add a constraint Fusion will tell me the sketch or edge is over constrained, but I just don't know where that error is coming from, because it's so hard to read the sketch/constraints UI.

I agree on complex sketches its gets difficult to find the constraints you looking for. Usually its the auto projected constraints that get me by surprise and I have to go digging for them.

IMO the shapes and constraints inside a sketch should be visible in the tree on the left, under that sketch. Would make it much easier to identify hidden shapes or constraints.

This is my #1 blocker trying to move from Solidworks.  With simple sketches it's no big deal, but when you build something complicated it gets real painful to identify and modify existing constraints.  There really needs to be a list of constraints affecting a sketch element (line, point, etc).   For example, in the Solidworks component below, which is BY NO MEANS COMPLEX, there are already 24 relations/constraints identified by icons.  Which apply to my particular line?  Well, I can select the line and it tells me..  which is VERY useful.  Please consider this for implementation in the product somehow.

Either list of constraints, and/or when you select  the constrain in the sketch, it would be useful to highlight the related geometry. Sometimes I have e.g. several circle centres contrained to one point and I want to decouple one of them...
