How to find object constraints

[aesilky]

I am trying to move a line in a complex sketch, but it is 'fully constrained' and, therefore, won't move. My question is, how can I identify the constraints on this line, so I can release/remove/change one to allow me to move this line?

Hi , 

just pick the point and delete the constraints

I suggest you use your Selection Filters to find all geometry sketch constraints in any particular sketch at one time.  You can then simply press Delete on the keyboard to remove them all or pick on them one at a time, unhighlighting the ones you want to keep and delete the one highlighted.

 When finished do not forget to set your Selection Filter back to its original setting.

there is no great way to find all the constraints that directly affect a sketch curve.  You can go the other way - if you hover over a constraint, its geometry is highlighted:

however, the bigger problem is:  a curve is often affected by constraints not directly applied to it.  So, while the direct constraints/dimensions are useful, they are not always sufficient

This helps. What I've learned is that there is no 'easy way' to do this.
