2022 OVER CONSTRAINED SKETCH WARNINGS?

This is my second day trying out IV 2022, and I seem to constantly get warnings after placing dimensions that my sketch is over constrained?  The problem is that they are clearly NOT constrained.  I can freely move the sketch in the picture attached, but as soon as I place a dimension it gives me that warning.  I started this skeletal sketch over this morning just to see if the bugs magically worked themselves out over night, but no luck.  Are other people experiencing this issue?  The sketch is attached as well.

I have got a bit of the same problem as described above.

Sketch mode tells me the sketch is fully constrained, however I am still able to move a line.

We are using Inventor 2022 since a few weeks.

Could anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi! I think this is a bug. There is probably a corrupted parameter or constraint within the sketch. Interestingly, if I delete the fx:136.285 dimension, the constraints will behave correctly. However, that deleted dimension does drive sketch change. I cannot explain the behavior.

Many thanks!

I have this same error in Inventor 2021, and encounter it about once a year in different sketches, in different Inventor releases. Usually seems to happen in sketches with lots of instances of a sketch block. If you place another instance of a sketch block in a sketch and try to constrain it to something, the whole sketch turns pink and you get the over-constrained warning, even though the sketch block is clearly free to move. Sometimes if you delete the extra sketch block the sketch turns back to blue, but says it is now over-constrained, and says there are -1 constraints needed. Delete any random dimension and the whole sketch turns pink. The sketch file is attached. See the unconstrained block in Sketch 3. Try to constrain it to something. Then try delete it.
