Locating Sketch Unconstraints

Hello everyone.

As I understand it, when there is a lock next to the sketch symbol and all the sketch lines are black it means that the drawing is fully constrained, like in the screenshot attached.

In the part I have attached, it shows that it is not fully constrained, even though all my lines are black. What are ways I can determine why my sketch is unconstrained?

Yes all black lines is a requirement along with no white points.  You have one of these.

You are victim of the coincident points are hidden trap.

 

I see no benefit in this model of projecting a plane, even though it has no bearing on the problem.  

If you are the author of the sketch, you should be able to find it, 

 

Might help....

  • Sketch.ShowUnderconstrained

File -> View -> Show Text Commands

Two lines ending here where there should be only one construction line.

Yes @TheCADWhisperer I got it. Used the Text Command like @etfrench suggested. I did not even know that was possible. Thank you all for your help @g-andresen @davebYYPCU 🙂
