Simple Sketch But Cant Fully Constrain

[russellharris19]

Apologies for the basic question from a newbie. Day 2 using Fusion and on my unlucky 13th simple practice sketch. All lines are black but I cannot get the fully constrained icon. I've tried the "Sketch.ShowUnderConstrained" command but even though it tells me there's a curve and 2 points under constrained it isn't highlighting them on the screen. There are only two circles and an arc and I've tried every other way to constrain them and I get the message it's over constrained. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do you need to make sure every sketch is fully constrained? Thanks for any help and replies.

Re did the drawing and it was fully constrained until I added the fillets. Figured out how to get around that and now fully done. Heck I've got a lot to learn.

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

I see a lot of unnecessary duplicated dimensions.

Attach your file here and someone will show you how to simplify your work.

As far as fully dimensioning a sketch - if you had Attached your file here someone would show you where the issue was and why it is important to resolve the issue.  Your goal should be completely logical predictable and robust behavior.

Thanks @TheCADWhisperer  appreciate your help. I realise I've over used dimensions where constraints should be used. I’ll attach the F3d file in the morning. Appreciate all advice and instruction. I’m realising it’s very different to drawing in AutoCAD and brain is slowly adjusting. Only been using it 4 days and really enjoying Fusion. Thanks again.

Duplicated question? How was this question different to the older one?

Yeah @davebYYPCU I’d accidentally posted this question in two different forums. So this is resolved really.

Thanks for offering to help with this one @TheCADWhisperer I'd actually somehow duplicated the question and it got resolved in the other thread. But thanks again. I did just post a new question about a rectangular pattern I'd appreciate your thoughts on though if you have time.
