Check-Mate (sketch fully contrained?) 2

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
when I run this test, NX find some sketches that aren't fully constrained.
The problem is that I can't find them easy because are internal sketch or because are hidden.
Check-mate give me the name, but how can find where are ?

Thank you...

Those who enjoy it, enjoy it!
Those who find it trying to move more to parametric. I think find it lagging behind and more volatile. I do like no history. I've always used macros and grips to accomplish the laborious selections filtering required, so with the extra picks added to 7.5, it does suck, sorry. It is going the wrong way to expedite CAD.Regards,

Right click on the failed sketchobject in the check-mate navigator and choose "select associated object", then go to information -> Object (ctrl+i) which will launch the information window and display the sketch information and what feature uses it.

Ahh i missed something obvious, internal sketches seem to inherit the timestamp of the owning feature. Thus the object name in the check-mate navigator contains the timestamp of the owning feature. Example the object name might be "SKETCH_000:SketchName(2):...." thus the feature that contains the sketch has timestamp 2.

Hi petulf,
about you last post, I can't see what you are describing.

Thank you...

There seems to be a presentation difference between the "sketch with autodimensions" and "sketch fully constrained?" tests, see attached image.

Yes, I've noted that difference and have opened a PR to that effect.

OK, a status on the PR I opened which pointed-out the differences in what's being reported depending on whether you were using Check-Mate to test for fully constrained versus auto-dimensioned sketches.

Starting with NX 8.5, irrespective of which test is run, the reports will now be consistent when indicating which feature (using the feature timestamp number scheme) a sketch is related to. We have also decided to back-port this fix for the next MR, NX 8.0.3.x, which will be released later this summer.
