Just by looking at a sketch is it possible to tell if a sketch is fully constraint. Any color codes?

On my installation of Inv 2009 (and was this way for all prior versions back to R10, default color settings) the sketch lines change from green (unconstrained) to black (fully constrained).

In 2009
#1 line colors change as stated above.
#2 in the bottom right hand corner (around the memory meter area) it will also tell you how many dimensions you need as well as saying when its fully constrained.

In addition to the color change for fully constrained sketch and the prompt in lower right corner of screen

- you can also turn on visibility of Degrees of Freedom for sketch entities or use Autodimension to add constraints and/or dimensions.
