Sketcher Intersection Point missing reference

Sketcher Intersection Point missing reference

Sketcher Intersection Point missing reference

(OP)
Hello,

In a sketch I have an intersection point attached to a wave linked curve. The wave link of this curve gets broken, so the sketch fails with a red cross with the message "Missing section string". I edit the sketch to solve the problem. However, the sketch gives no hint about what the problem is (at this point I do not know that the issue is the broken wave link). The sketch looks fine. So I check the Show/Remove constraints and they all look fine. I have several intersection points in the sketch, so I edit every single one of them to see if any one has a missing reference. After a while, using this method, I can finally solve the sketch.

It seems that I'm spending too much time diagnosing this problem. Is there a way to quickly find out which intersection point has a missing reference? Or is it simply not recommended to use the intersection point within a sketch? If I create an intersection point as a standalone feature, even though it creates more clutter in the feature tree, at least I can easily tell if there is a problem with one of the intersection points, because a red cross will appear on the feature.
