I know that you are there coincident constraint....Come out, come out what ever you are.

this line is not part of the new sketch. but submit your work below as an f3d file. so that we can make sure. greetings mango

Looks like you have a point at the end of a projected line, for me if I select the line the constraint shows or just hovering the mouse pointer over the point. Fusion tends not to show all constraints even with show constraints checked to help reduce clutter, don't know how it decides what to display and yes sometimes it keeps the constraint you want hidden. Seems to usually be coincident constraints but hovering the mouse at that point should make them show.

I think the coincident constrain tends to stay hidden because of situations like this with stacked points.

@tookemtoni - can you share this design?  If there are two points there, and they are coincident, the constraint should appear.  Also, try right clicking - does Delete Coincident appear?

Hi @jeff_strater 

Yes! Right click over point and delete coincident appeared. And long left click revealing only to points. Could recap stacked constraint auto-hide mechanics?

 

Hi @HughesTooling @mango.freund,

Attached is the f3d file and here is a photo of were you can find the point in question:

In the state you supplied the design you can't easily select the constraint. Biggest problem is you have show points disables so hovering the mouse over the point does nothing. There's also a lot going on as you have a projected line, a construction line and a dimension end point! as you can see below with show points checked the constraint shows on mouse over.

@jeff_strater's method works but it seems to leave the dimension fixed to the projected line. If you use the mouse over method the dimension stays fixed to the construction line. Screencast below.

One suggestion, drawing lines on top of other lines is not a good idea. You can constrain this without the construction lines and it's a lot easer to read and manage. Less data in the sketch as well so Fusion doesn't need to work as hard.

Hello everyone who campaigns against this problem. As I mentioned in the first post, we are misled because the line and the point can be found on the first sketch xyz and then projected again onto 3doorinterior and drawn over it a main line. a completely unusual approach to work with fusion. every sketch should be in the component and be switched on and off with it. you should also be dissatisfied with the structure of your browser. but no matter ---- I still have a piece of candy for you. it seems to be a piece of furniture and for this work there is the free fusion app "joinercad". greetings mango.

to clarify what I mean.   and because of the continuity - if tapping, then anywhere where it fits.

the browsers should look something like the highlighted ones.   greetings mango
