Description

The Sketcher SelectRedundantConstraints tool selects the redundant constraints in a sketch.

If such constraints exist in a sketch the Solver messages section of the Sketcher Dialog displays this message:

Redundant constraints: (#, #, #)

Where (#, #, #) are the indices of the constraints. Clicking the underlined text will select the redundant constraints.

Please note that a sketch can also have redundant constraints if this message is displayed:

Over-constrained: (#, #, #)

Usage

There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Click the underlined text in the Sketcher Dialog as described above.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Select redundant constraints option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Z then P, then R.
The redundant constraints are selected.
Optionally click in an empty area in the 3D view to clear the selection.

Notes

Redundant constraints must be removed from the sketch.
Instead of the proposed indices it is also possible to delete other constraints.
