Show Constraint State

Need to vent on a feature that was added in 2021/2022 Inventor......(show constraint state).  I've attached two images showing DOF dialog box showing all my DOF have been removed in this assembly.  The "show constraint state" feature I'm sure is a valuable feature for many Inventor users in past years not knowing If their assemblies have been fully defined or not.  Is there a known issue with this feature wigging out from time to time or do I just not use the feature until a patch is created?

 

This feature needs to be idiot proof and I don't want a reply back saying it's better to use one type of constraint versus another so this issue doesn't arise, fully defined should be fully defined in most instances.

Hi!

This feature never worked well and is far from being accurate, and Autodesk is aware of that.

Only in very simple assemblies... it "kind of" work.

I don't rely on the info it shows.

I hope over time it will improve.

Hi! To boost its accuracy, go to Tools -> App Options -> Assembly -> check "Enable redundant relationship analysis." After that, do a rebuild all and the constraint status will be more accurate. I believe it was documented in the Help or Readme.

Many thanks!
