Fully Constrained, Yet Won't Pad

Post by TransJenna »

Hi there,

I love all the help y'all have given me so far, but I have to ask another favor. I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get this to pad. I even removed a constraint or two and yank on every single line segment and vertex. Nothing seems disconnected. All I get is a "Wire Is Not Closed" input error.

Thank Y'all.

Physical proximity of vertexes does not constitute coincident. Each set of vertexes must be marked coincident.

Either remove some dimensional constraints and wiggle lines until you find the loose vertexes or use the Validate sketch tool to find them.

I pulled on each vertex and none of them moved, and I also tried the Validate Sketch tool without finding any issues.

I only changed the angular constraints of 180° for the vertical constraint of the 3 points of the arc.

The Validate Sketch tool in FC development version 0.21 shows the sketch error locations as "Highlight Troublesome Vertices".

:idea:
your sketch : 22 dimensions
mine : 8 dimensions
