When there are only two constraints on a sketch line it shows the fully constrained colors. Neither line in the pic has dimensions for length but they are snapped to the origin and have either a horizontal constraint or an angle. So why do they show fully constrained?
This has come up a few times with no real answer. In other programs I use they have 3 colours, Fusion could get away with only 2 colours if the points changed colour as well. Think this is more lacking feature that no one seems to care much about.😞

this is correct, if admittedly a bit confusing. The lines in this sketch are fully constrained. A line is just an origin and a direction, and in this sketch, both are fully constrained. What is not constrained, though, are the endpoints of the lines, which is why the fully constrained symbol does not appear on the sketch in the browser.
I think the endpoint should have to be constrained as well because it is part of the line and if the end is not constrained then neither is the line but I will live with it the way it is, although it probably causes problems for new users.
