Colours of constraints in sketch 2

[kadego]

Hi Again

Could someone please list the colours of constraints and their meaning.

From the help in UG..(I must be only person that uses it!)

Cyan
Curves that are part of a sketch are by default colored cyan.

Green
Curves that are not part of a sketch are by default colored green. Sketch dimensions that do not cause a conflict with other dimension constraints are also colored green.

Yellow
Sketch geomtry and any dimensional constraints associated with it that are overconstrained are colored yellow. This occurs when you apply more constraints to a curve or vertex than are needed to control it.

Degree of Freedom Arrows, which indicate vertex points that are under constrained, are also colored yellow.

Pink
As you add constraints to a sketch they are evaluated, and if confilicts between other constraints are found by the system the color of the conflicting dimensions are changed from green to pink, and the sketch geometry is changed to gray. This visual feedback indicates that the sketch cannot be solved given the current constraints.

White
Dimensions that you convert from active to reference using Convert To/From Reference change from green to white.

Gray
Sketch geometry that you convert from active to reference using Convert To/From Reference change to gray, phantom line. Sketch geometry may also change its color to gray if conflicts exist with its dimension constraints (see Pink, above).

All of the colors in sketcher are user-defined. The above list is by default. They can be re-defined by editing the ug_metric.def or ug_english.def files.
