About Inconsistent SketchesIn general, the inconsistent status shows that the user is attempting to make a change to the sketch that is too large. In this context, "large" is relative to the size of the Sketch. Parts of a sketch may become inconsistent as a result of a number of different operations. The most common of these are as follows:
The geometry has not been solved because:
Chirality determines the way that geometry is positioned relative to the geometries to which it is dimensioned. A dimensioning scheme can often be satisfied by a number of different configurations. The system will always evaluate a new configuration that has the same chirality as the original geometry. It is important to realize that geometry in the system always has an original configuration, which is used for deciding the chirality.
Resolving Inconsistent CasesIf the inconsistent status code was a result of changing a dimension value, the problem will be resolved by changing the dimension back to its old value. However, in some cases you may want to modify other parts of the sketch to allow the change to be made. The following sections describe different ways that can be tried. When attempting to solve a problem, the user should focus on the geometries and dimensions in the Sketch with the inconsistent status code. In order to decide how to avoid the status code it is useful to check first if the problem comes from inconsistent dimensions. An example of this is a triangle with sides of length 50, 50 and
120.
Not Changed StatusThe not changed status is used in the following cases:
