Simple Fully constrained question

nickenglish8 · ‎02-06-2023

This is so simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to fully constrain a rectangle. I click new sketch. I choose a two point rectangle. I "draw" it. I set the dimension of one horizontal side as 5 inches and one of the vertical lines as 6 inches. Why is this not fully constrained? What else do I need to add for fusion to have the "lock" emblem and show that it is fully constrained? I know this is simple, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

It's position hasn't been constrained yet. Add some dimensions and/or other constraints referencing the origin then it will be fully constrained.
