The System displays Under Defined in the Status bar located in the lower right comer of

the Graphics window. In an under defined Sketch, the entities that require position,

dimensions or Sketch relations are displayed in blue.

In a fully defined sketch, all entities are displayed in black. The Status bar displays Fully

Defined. In machining practices, parts require fully defined sketches. A fully defined

sketch has defined positions, dimensions and/or relationships.

In an over defined sketch, there is geometry conflict with the dimensions and or

relationships. In an over defined sketch, entities are displayed in red. SOLIDWORKS

provides the SketchXpert tool to correct an over defined sketch. The SketchXpert

PropertyManager is displayed by default for an over defined sketch. Click the Diagnose

button and accept an option to correct the over defined sketch.

;Q~ Although dimensions are not required to create features in SOLIDWORKS,

dimensions provide location and size information. Models require dimensions for

manufacturing. Dimension the rectangle with horizontal and vertical dimensions.
