How do you delete Coincident Constraints?

So how do you delete the coincident constraint between two rectangles? or even between two line segments of a rectangle?

@jeff_strater To be honest, the way Inventor handles constraints across the board in the sketch environment is excellent now. It wasn't pre-2015 but they've really nailed it now. F8 & F9 toggles constraint displays (based on constraint display settings) and as soon as you select any sketch object it's constraints appear. If you window select objects, again all their constraints appear. The relax mode is epic as well! 

 

When it comes to reviewing this lot, have a good look at Inventor 2016 sketch constraints. I'm sure you would anyway.


I would say yes please to that

It would be very useful if coincident point were color coded. It is often hard to tell when I connect multiple lines to the same end point if Fusion has automatically set a coincident constraint.

Is this a bug or a newbie error?
I cant change the size of this rectangle - I want to bring the top down.  It seems to be constrained but nothing Ive tried will let me change it.

It looks as if it might be constrained to the line across the top. Can you delete the right angle constraint that shows at the top right in your picture?  Highlight, press delete.

top line might have a fixed constraint henc the pink color. Also try removing top right perpendicular constraint as mentioned above.

I cant select any of the contraints,as shown in second picture.  Right clicking over the constraint does not display a 'remove constraint' option
