Show what constraints prevent a sketch modification such as moving

[miquelmartin]

Often times when moving segments in a sketch, nothing happens because constraints prevent it. Other times, adding a constraint fails and an error shows that "other" constraints keep you from adding this one.

It would be fantastic if we could get a visual queue showing what constraints are in effect, for example by highlighting them in red when performing the action.

Thanks so much!

This is in our backlog, but we're not sure when we can get to this yet. It'll be up for future consideration.

I think this is the biggest hurdle for new users.

Fusion is like a compiler without error messages. Just imagine you try to compile a program and the compiler tells you:

There was an error.

This is a must.  Highlighting constraints involved is ONE way to inform the user, but all constraints might not be visible in the user's view, so this mechanism should be supplemented by optionally generating a  'report' which itemises and explains the involved constraints.  It should be possible to locate/delete constraints from the report.

Could a prototype sketch of the geometry be produced to explain how the constraints relate....

Fusion 360 really needs tools to analyse a design.  Currently it is far easier to rebuild small designs from scratch than edit a buggy design.  That approach won't work for big designs.
