What do blue lines mean in Onshape?

How do you know a feature has errors Onshape?

Error Indicators

1. Color in the Feature list – When there is a problem with a feature, you may see orange text in the Feature list and dialog title.
2. When the problem lies with a single field, like an invalid entry in a numeric field, that field is outlined in red.

What do red lines represent on Onshape?

The red lines indicate the edges that are preventing the shell feature from solving. If you can make your document public and reply with the url someone from the community may be able to take a look and help!

How do you know when a sketch has been fully constrained?

A sketch is fully constrained when the size and position of all sketch geometry is completely defined. This is achieved using a combination of constraints and dimensions. You don’t always need to fully constrain sketches, but it is often good practice to do so.

What do black lines represent on Onshape?

Onshape uses colors to indicate if a sketch is under-constrained, over-constrained, or fully constrained. Entities of an over-constrained sketch will be red. Entities of an under-constrained sketch will be blue and entities of a fully constrained sketch will be black.

What color is the geometry of a fully defined sketch?

In a fully defined sketch, geometry is displayed in black.

Which mate allows the most degrees of freedom?

In Onshape there is just one Mate between any two parts, and therefore the movement (degrees of freedom) between those two parts embedded within the Mate.

How do I delete a constraint on Onshape?

Delete a constraint: click a single constraint icon and press Delete or select Delete from the context menu. In the Sketch dialog, check Show constraints to display all constraints defined for the sketch.

What does constraint mean in CAD?

In the design phase of a project, constraints provide a way to enforce requirements when experimenting with different designs or when making changes. Changes made to objects can adjust other objects automatically, and restrict changes to distance and angle values. With constraints, you can.

What evidence can you present to support your claim that the sketch is fully constrained?

An arc has four degrees of freedom: center, radius, and end points. If you eliminate all degrees of freedom by applying constraints or dimensions, the sketch is fully constrained. If any degrees of freedom remain unsolved, the sketch is under-constrained.

What does over constrain the sketch mean?

Causes: The degrees of freedom affected by the current action are fully defined in the sketch with constraints and/or dimensions. By adding another dimension or constraint, violates or contradicts existing constraints or dimensions. This produces the overconstrained condition in the sketch.
