Sketch change in NX12 1

Hi friends

Let me try to explain this issue, When I work in a sketch in NX12 I can use constraints, make some geometries equals etc. but when I draw in the same sketch a new form, it´s change of colour green to blue. In this moment the constraints and all the sketch does not work well.
I don´t understand why "change" colour and properties of the sketch when I draw many geometries.

some one of you know can I get that works?

thanks for your time and comments.

It sounds like you may be running into the "large sketch settings". Once your sketch hits a certain level of complexity, NX will prompt if you want to turn on "large sketch settings", which will disable the creation of inferred constraints (but you can still manually create the constraints). For more discussion, see this thread (on the Siemens community forum):

p.s. the various "patterning" commands may help simplify your sketch and model. In the case shown (if the design allowed), I'd sketch and dimension one "cell", pattern it (within the sketch command) the required number of times in the Y direction, cap the ends, and finish the sketch. Use the sketch to create a feature (such as an extrude) then pattern the geometry as required in the X direction.
