How can I get information if a sketch which sketch has lost a constraints( or isn't fully constraint) or dependencies from curves referenced to outside a sketch? Is there a check to analyse a part with many sketches not to to open and control each sketch

I think that the best for checking constrain in sketch is Chek-Mate. But for this you need check-mate license.
You can solve this problem by program in OpenApi.

Agreed, checkmate may help if you want to police the models.

The ones I know of, outside the sketcher are information>object, and the by selecting any sketch in the part navigator interdependent features will be highlighted.

To check whether the sketch is fully constrained or not- first I use filter in the Model navigator to filter down only Sketches, and then select all the sketches-> goto information, in the listing window search for the word "constrain".
 
I checked checkmate ;-) cool tool.
I must learn /look how to use. At the first look I found a lot of check templates. I haved tested yet, but an other nice function would be to find broken / uncovered wave links. To cut it short. Can I check those entities in checkmate. A check template - I haven't found so far. Is this connected to the big wave licence?
Excused ask my ignorance. Thx in ad
 
I'm dead sure that it can be done GM do it [wink].

Funnily enough there doesn't appear to be a great deal of sketch checking built into their tests.

One interesting effect of policing things become the unexpected responses that occasionally occur. I have followed your posts in this thread with some interest and wondered what you really wanted to do and why. If you intended to check that all sketches must be fully constrained then many people, might not be the sort of operators who would see it as a good thing. I remember well days gone by when a lot of people wouldn't use sketches at all because the system required that they be fully internally constrained which was at the time quite difficult to achieve. I wonder if all you might get if you policed sketches thus would be feature based models as a result of users abandoning the use of sketches. Sad but probably true.

Best regards
