How to find sketch errors?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys.  Routinely, during my design process,  I remove/edit geometry that is referenced by downstream sketch constraints.  Thus, these downstream constraints fail.  Solidworks calls these "dangling" constraints and it has a tool to view all the sketch constraints within a sketch.  Over-constrained items show up red, dangling show up yellow.

Is there a tool in Fusion to view my sketch constraints?  It frustrating to be told there is an error, but no mechanism to determine what the error is.  Is there a tool like this that I'm missing?  Attached is a pic of a sketch that has an error - no idea what it is.

Thanks,

Walt

Is this issue still not resolved? I try to be understanding of bugs and frustrating abnormalities in Fusion since A) SolidWorks isn't perfect either, and B) Fusion has a much more accessible cost. However, I came here trying to diagnose a mysterious sketch error, assuming there was a tool for such a purpose that I simply couldn't find, and discover it simply doesn't exist. A downstream sketch turned yellow in my timeline after an upstream change and the only information I have to go on is "compute failed". I'm sure my workflow could be improved but sketch errors are common in the real world. How is it acceptable to not have a system for finding them? A simple highlight? Anything? How could this not be a priority?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

There is a "sort of" tool, but I forget how to access it.

I might be motivated to find the tool if I had a file with which to experiment.

Thanks for the reply! I decided to just redraw the sketch but I thought I should still voice the issue since the Fusion rep said it was a low priority for them and I don't think it should be 🙂

Dang it all, now I can't find the reference to secret Text Command to check the sketch.

Hopefully someone who knows the secret code will come along and reveal.

Is the text command you are looking for 

Sketch.ShowUnderconstrained

Seven YEARS and still not resolved!
