This task explains how to display a quick diagnosis of a
sketch geometry. You will be provided an overall status of the sketch
geometry as a whole, so that can correct any constraint-related problem
accordingly. |
|
Open the
Sketch_Analysis.CATPart document. |
|
-
Click Sketch Solving Status
in the Tools toolbar (2D Analysis Tools
sub-toolbar).
.
The Sketch Solving Status dialog box is displayed. It
indicates the overall status of the sketch geometry. In this case, the
sketch is under-constrained.
|
|
- On the sketch as well as in the specification tree, under-constrained
and over-constrained geometrical elements (lines, points, etc.) are
highlighted, and iso-constrained elements are displayed in a different
color. This enables you to see easily which items are under/
over-constrained, and which are iso-constrained.
- In our example, all geometrical items are under-constrained; they are
therefore displayed in red. There is a tangency constraint which is iso-constrained;
it is displayed in green.
- If you wish, you can click Sketch Analysis
in the dialog box to view a more
in-depth diagnosis specifying which individual geometrical elements
in the sketch are under-constrained (under-defined), over-constrained
(over-defined) or iso-contrained (well defined).

|
-
Click the Close button to close the
Sketch Solving Status dialog box.
-
From the specification tree, expand the Sketch.1
and then the Geometry nodes.
-
Multi-select all items under the Geometry
node, and right-click them.
-
Select Selected objects > Fix from the
contextual menu. All elements are now fixed.
-
Click Sketch Solving Status
again. The Sketch Solving Status dialog box now indicates that
the sketch is iso-constrained.
