ConstraintStatus returned by API differs from UI status

[Maxim-CADman77]

When I open the only Sketch contained in the attached IPT I see "Fully Constrained" note in the right side of the status bar.

I expect API will return 51713 value of ConstraintStatus of the Sketch BUT

when I run this iLogic code:

MsgBox(ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).ConstraintStatus,,"First Sketch ConstraintStatus:")

I get 51714.

Why?

PS: The issue is reproducible in both Inventor 2014 and 2019.2

@Maxim-CADman77,

Actually, sketch is not "fully constrained". One SketchArc is not constrained as shown in below image.

So, sketch is modifed to "fully constrained" one. Modified part is attached with this post. Now, try below iLogic code to get ConstrainStatus as 51713.

MsgBox(ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).ConstraintStatus,,"First Sketch ConstraintStatus:")

Thanks and regards,

Your answer is based only on color of this arc?

Is it really under-constrained (can be changed by adding some dimension or constraint)?

I can't add any dimension or constrain without making the sketch over-constrained.

Neither can do the Inventor itself:

If I press "Automatic Dimensions And Constraints" button, choose the arc as Curves and press Apply the arc remains colored as under-constrained:

I'd rather say it is colored in that way by some mistake (?in API?).

Don't you think so?

@Maxim-CADman77,

To investigate further, a change request(INVGEN-24070) is created with engineering team.

Thanks and regards,
