Error description

• SKETCHER: ISO CONTRAINED STATUS IS KEPT
  EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE CONCENTRICITY AND
  THE DASHED LINE IN THE HEXAGON
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Launch CATIA session.
  2. Open new CATPart.
  3. Change workbench to Sketcher workbench.
  4. Click hexagon function icon and create hexagon.
  5. Create constraint of coincidence between center
  (original) point of hexagon and original point of HV
  axis system.
  6. Create constraint of length between 2 faced
  edge.
  7. Create constraint of Horizontal on 1 edge.
  It seems that status of constraint is iso (full)
  constraint because all element of geometry are
  colored in light green.
  8. Delete the constraints Concentricity on spec
  tree.
  9. Delete dashed line which seems to support the
  Concentricity constraint.
  10. Click icon of "Display the sketch solving status"
  and display "sketch solving status".
  .
  PROBLEM:
  "Iso-constraint" is displayed though constraint of
  Concentricity and dashed line are removed.
  .

Comments

• Incident Diagnosis:
  ISO CONTRAINED STATUS IS KEPT EVEN AFTER
  REMOVING THE CONCENTRICITY AND THE
  DASHED LINE IN THE HEXAGON.
  .
  Correct Application:
  The concentric dashed line allows to define the
  orientation of the hexagon. This line forces the
  direction of the hexagon during its creation.
  The dashed line is defined between the center of
  hexagon and a middle point of one of the hexagon
  sides. The dashed line becomes well-defined when
  the center and the used side are well-defined.
  .
  If the dashed line is not used to position the
  hexagon (no constrained), like in this case, the
  dashed line does not have any impact on the
  hexagon. It can be removed  without changing the
  Hexagon status, because it seen as unnecessary
  geometry.
  .
  Its a same thing as an iso-constrained rectangle,
  you can define a line between the mid points of
  opposite sides without change the status. The
  rectangle will
  always see as iso-constrained even if you delete
  this line.
