Constraints dictate how geometry behaves. A fully constrained sketch turns . An under-constrained sketch remains WHITE . Over-constrained sketches turn PURPLE or RED .
: Switches between "real" lines (visible in 3D) and reference lines (only for guiding the sketch). Pro-Tip: Sketch Analysis catia+v5+sketch+tools
: Offers multiple ways to draw circles (e.g., center-point, 3-point, or tri-tangent) and conics like ellipses and hyperbolas. Constraints dictate how geometry behaves
