finding external references

[uwam2ie]

Maybe I missed something, but what is the quickest way to find external references in a existing complex sketch, vertex and edges refernces (NX7.5)?

I think if you use Show/Remove Constraints with all in active sketch, constraint type = all, include, show constraints = both, should show external references by name such as EDGE1. You can also click the information button and then use edit-> find in the information window.

thanks moudy1,
yes, I knew this function, I was asking because I find the list in show/remove Constraint awfull to use.There is no filter for external refernces. I have sometimes sticky sketch conturs. I can not move them using drag and drop inside the sketch and can not find any fixing reference....
any idea?
thanks

Perhaps something has been projected into the sketch. Any such geometry would be 'fixed' and would only move if/when the parents move.

thx cowski on reply,
no projection, funny thing is, removing one dimension working only inside the sketch, I'm able to move the sketch - but the deleted dimension hasn't had an external reference.
