The red lock means that your other 5 sketches are not fully constrained.

How do you delete a locked sketch in Fusion 360?

  • XY, YZ, or ZX origin planes.
  • Planar faces.
  • Construction planes.

What is a green line in Fusion 360?

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 can all the constraints associated with a sketch entity be identified?

To show or hide constraints for all active sketch geometry, click Show All Constraints or Hide All Constraints in the status bar. To hide a specific constraint glyph, right-click the glyph and choose Hide. To highlight all associated geometries and constraint glyph partners, point to a constraint glyph.
