How do you fix a sketch on Onshape?

Currently, we have two circles on our sketch plane. If you click the center you can freely move the circle around. If you click the center of the circle and then click the Fix tool on the sketch toolbar, the Fix icon is affixed to the circle, and you can no longer move the circle.

How do you make black Onshape sketches?

Best Answer. @john_smith077 , You have to give dimension for conversion from under-defined line (Blue) to fully- defined line (Black). If you do not want to give dimension then apply fix constrain to line then it will convert into black color. Currently in Onshape user can not change property of line.

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.

Why is my background Black on Onshape?

The issue you are seeing could be a bug with Google SwiftShader. Furthermore the rendering performance is low as well. You may want to ensure Chrome is able to correctly use your graphics card.

How do you fix a sketch that could not be solved Onshape?

You can rectify this by selecting the point that ends the pattern and the center of the circle and choosing coincident. This will constrain these points to be the same place.

What does sketch could not be solved mean on Onshape?

Looks like you’ve got dimensions fighting each other. Eg on the left edge you have a dimension, and on the right side you have 3 dimensions making up the same edge but the maths is off.

What do red lines mean in 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!

What does it mean when a sketch is over constrained?

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.

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 Relation 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.
