Hi,

To reorder a sketch, i need to know how the current sketch is associated/depended with previous sketch/features. am getting below error while trying to reorder.

there is an option sketch relations browser as shown below which gives relations w.r.t curves only, not with sketches/features which makes it difficult to understand. Even external references also not showing anything w.r.t previous sketches/features.

i want to know constraints which are associated w.r.t previous sketches/features. is there a way to get that?

The Sketch relations browser will show relations to "external" objects, those will have a note in the column "external reference", but it is lacking information when it comes to the placement of the sketch.
In this case :
1) when you select the sketch in the part navigator, it will highlight any parent relations in pink colour.
2) Edit the sketch, Open the relations browser, look for notes in the "External reference" colum, if there are one, expand that line. ( the rest should be self explanatory.)
3) if there are no "external references" , Exit the relations browser.
find the button "Reattach sketch",
Now rotate the view such that you can see the objects highlighting clearly. The sketch has a placement plane, a reference direction and a origin, all three can be associated to something "before this sketch"
all three can be re-mapped with this dialog.
These relations can be difficult to identify or report. Using the Reattach sketch tool is maybe the simplest method.

Regards
Tomas
