Hi!
One more issue with dimensioning.
I use the following tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFWAy_wnoZc
At 41:45 sketch 16 is fully constrained
In my case having the same dimensions one more dimension is still required.
I tried to use auto constraining.
it shows that this dimension is required.
I am confused, because the author doesn't use it .
The file is attached.
.
Thank you in advance!

Missing Tangent Constraints.
It is always preferable to use appropriate Geometry Constraints over dimensions when possible.
I recommend that you forget you ever saw the Autodimension/Constraint tool.
When something shows as underconstrained - start dragging endpoints.
You should see obvious visual indication of missing constraint.
As you gain experience - Inventor will add nearly all of these constraints for you as you are sketching - so it isn't extra work.
