Analyzing Projections and Intersections

You can analyze the elements resulting from projection and intersection operations you explicitly performed but also from implicit operations. Either a global or individual status is provided using which you can correct any problem stated in the status.

Before you begin: Create a simple pad and project one or more edges of the pad.

  1. Click Sketch Analysis in the Tools toolbar (2D Analysis Tools sub-toolbar).

    The Sketch Analysis dialog box appears. It contains three tabs: Geometry, Projections / Intersections and Diagnostic.



  2. Select the Projections / Intersections tab.

    The information on this tab displays a full diagnosis of a sketch geometry. It provides a global analysis of the sketch as a whole, and specifies whether individual geometrical elements in the sketch are under-constrained (under-defined), over-constrained (over-defined) or iso-constrained (well defined):

    You can see that all construction and intersection elements for this 3D shape have a valid status so you do not have to do anything.
