Display more info on Errors

It would be super helpful if, when an error is encountered, F360 would highlight the error locations by making them red, or putting a red X on the locations, to give me an idea of where to look to fix the problem. For instance, F360 will tell me a I have compute error but nothing about what it's trying to compute in error. I have a sheet metal project where I created a flange and F360 though it was going to interfere with something else, but it was not clear exactly where the problem was (I finally found that one side of my flange, in symmetry with the other side, had been modified for length but the other side did not follow and had to be modified manually). If F360 could turn the problem area red, it would be much quicker for me the find the problem.

If I create a dimension that must be a driven dimension because of a constraint or another dimension that already exists, when F360 tells me about the error encountered, it should also highlight the constraint or previous dimension that is contributes to the error. I have a circle now that is constrained or dimensioned so that I cannot move it, but I am unable to find the dimension or constraint preventing movement.

The highlighting would go away soon after the message displays, like the message does, and reappear if I click on the error message.

As a beginner, I find myself making many mistakes and spending a lot of time looking for where each mistake is.

 

Thanks,

Chris
