How is this sketch fully defined?

Anonymous

Hi, I'm a new Fusion member but have been modeling in SolidWorks for years. A sketch I did in SW in 2 min, I have been struggling with in Fusion for over an hour... I have the exact same constraints, but in SW I can add 3 (!?) more dimensions (which should also be correct) than in Fusion which tells me the sketch is already fully defined? Can someone tell me what is going on..?? Thanks, Martin

It's because that green line is "fixed" in place.

Thanks! 🙂 Really appreciate your help! Does the constraint "fixed" not show as a symbol like the other constraints, like tangent and vertical etc? The item is only getting the color green? I have some problems seeing colors sometimes, especially green/brown. Thanks again!

Correct, no symbol, just the green color

 

I've seen the colors of lines discussed here fairly frequently.  I believe there is at least one suggestion in the idea station to make the colors of lines user selectable.  I can't imagine your the only one who might have issues discerning certain colors from each other.  Maybe if enough people put up a stink AD will do something.
