When trying to fully define a sketch you can use dimensions or what Fusion 360?

How do you use dimensions in Fusion 360?

Simply right-click on a radius dimension that was applied (by default) to the arc. Then, click on the option that says “toggle Diameter”. You’ll then see the arc has the diameter applied. Fusion 360 will automatically double the radius value, leaving you with the same dimension.

What color indicates a sketch is fully defined under defined?

Fully Defined



Appears as black in the graphics area and under Relations in the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager. Indicates all required dimensions and relations to sketch entities are present, without redundant or unnecessary elements that cause the sketch to be over defined.

How do you dimension a sketch?

To start, click on the Dimension icon on the sketch toolbar.

…

Dimension

1. Click or press the D key.
2. Select the entity (or entities between which) to dimension and the location of the dimension. The dialog opens on the placement of the dimension.
3. Enter a value and press Enter to accept the value.

Can you put dimensions in Fusion 360?

Fusion 360 doesn’t have a “3D annotation” command. You can show some dimensions in your model by making sketches visible, and then making the dimensions visible in the sketch. To make a sketch visible: click the light bulb it has in the browser, so it’s on.

What is a fully constrained sketch?

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 does fully constrained mean?

If geometry is controlled such that you cannot change it without redefining the relationships—changing constraints, dimensions, or parameters—the geometry is fully constrained.

How do you know if a sketch is fully defined in Solidworks?

FULLY DEFINED SKETCH



The sketch is fully defined if the lines on the sketch are all black. This means that there can be no unexpected changes within the model due to all the geometry of the sketch being fully defined.

How do you display dimensions?

For example, a dimension of a rectangular room on a blueprint, 14′ 11″ X 13′ 10″ equates to a room size of 14 feet, 11-inches wide by 13 feet, 10-inches long. Dimensions are expressed as width by length by height or depth in three-dimensional space.

What are dimension lines used for?

You can draw dimension lines to indicate the measurements of objects in a drawing, such as length, width, height, depth, and distance. Dimension lines indicate the measurements of objects in a drawing.

How do you write dimensions?

All box dimensions are written as length x width x height. For example, 14″ x 11″ x 4″ means 14″ (L) x 11″ (W) x 4″ (H)”.
