Cannot Fully Define a Sketch - Keep Getting Over-contrained Error Message!

Anonymous

Hi -

 

I am trying to fully define a completed sketch - when beginning to add dimensions and constraints, I get 

over-constrained errors - even tho the sketch is "new" - all blue lines. I projected edges from an imported

rhino file, then created a new sketch and projected to create new lines, then broke all links...wonder if

this is why I am having problems?

 

My file is here:

Thanks for any help!

@Anonymous,

 

You just need lots and lots of dimensions and constraints to fully constrain this sketch.  I only did a small corner of it, but it went from this:

to this:

It's more complicated because everything is at an angle and you will have to have lots of angle dimensions to fully constrain this.
