how to show all sketch constraints?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi I am a new user I found that when sketching not all the constraints are shown, and its hard to select individual points to be coincident not knowing which point is seected it seems.  Is there a way to get the most information on all of the constraints currently applied to sketches?

 

I attached a picture of my current sketch.  The lines represent rigid linkages I want to define at certain lengths and then constrain their endpoints to each other and to fixed points.

 

Thanks

Constrains that are automatically generated when sketching don't display. With lines it's not too much of a problem, if you right click near the end of the line you will get a menu with an option to delete the constraint at that end.

With circle\arc centres it not so easy, in the image below there's no way to know which point is the circle center point. If you can remember the order you drew the entities the points in the menu are listed newest at the top. Just noticed the menu doesn't even show all the points for some reason, there should be 5 at that point not 3!

PS I have a suggestion on the Ideastation that would help so please vote it up, thanks.
