When Fusion 360 shows the error (they call it a "warning"):

 

"Constraints and/or dimensions were removed during operation."

 

how can I see what specific constraints and/or dimensions were removed? One of many ways to trigger this error is to (in a sketch) add a fillet to the corner of a rectangle that has dimensions. Every dimension and constraint that existed prior to adding the fillet remains, as far as I can tell.

 

I'm trying to learn how to deal with errors I see when creating Fusion 360 documents, so I am not including a specific document or screencast or whatever. Put another way, I'm looking for a general way to identify the constraints or dimensions affected without having to ask for help or perform a bunch of searches every single time something like this comes up.

No, there is no way to determine what was removed when you get this message.  Mostly, it is pretty obvious - for example, if you are rotating sketch geometry, then any constraint which would prevent that rotation would get deleted (vertical/horizontal/angle dimension, etc).
