The key takeaways from the document are how to properly constrain sketches in Fusion 360 and identify sketches that are not fully constrained.

Collinear lines lie on the same straight line, parallel lines are equal distance apart, tangent circles intersect at one point, and concentric circles have the same center but different radii.

The coincident constraint 'stacks' points on top of each other. You use it by selecting the coincident tool and choosing the points to relate.

Procedure Questions (Canvas)

Step 2
1. Explain the difference between parallel and collinear.
Collinear is lying on the same straight line, vertical or horizontal, while parallel is
equal distance from all points
2. Explain the difference between two circles that are tangent and two circles that
are concentric.
Tangent is where a line intersects a circle at exactly one point. The point of
tangency is where the point of a tangent line touches the circle. Concentric Circles are
two or more circles that have the same center, but different radius/diameters
3. Can the tangent constraint be applied between a line and an arc?
Yes, it can be.
4. What does the coincident constraint do? How do you use it?
It “stacks” points on top of one another so to speak. You use it by simply clicking
the “Coincident” button at the top of the bar and selecting the points you wish to give a
coincident relationship to.

Step 3-Reflection Question


How would you describe this polygon in geometric terms?
An eight-sided concave polygon

Step 16-Reflection Question


Did the sketch appearance change when you placed line 10 and created a continuous
loop? If so, how did the appearance change?
No, it did not.

Step 23-Reflection Question


Can you move line 1 after you fix the midpoint to the origin? How did the appearance of
line 1 change when you fixed it to the origin?
Yes, you can. It changed by centering with the rest of the object, kind of like a
centerline.

Step 32
Change the base dimension of the sketch from 100 mm to 125 mm. Was your prediction
correct?
Yes, my prediction was correct.

Step 33
What happens if you change the vertical overall dimension from 45 mm to 60 mm? To
80 mm?
The top part of the object gets much larger.

Step 35
Does your final part resemble the part shown in the isometric view? If not, continue to
revise your sketch until you have a fully constrained sketch that aligns with the design
intent.
Yes, it does.

Conclusion Questions
1. What approach did you find to help you identify sketches that are not fully
constrained in the future?

When I clicked the edit sketch button down in the history bar, I was easily able to
add constraints and other necessary components to the object.

2. How will you approach adding constraints to achieve full constraints?

In order to make sure I have every constraint, I will click on every side of the
object and see if a constraint can be added, that would be the easiest for me to do.
