Show affected constraints during/before an operation

Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

The problem that this feature will solve:

Quite often, I’ll make a sketch, then start modifying part of it, only to find practically the entire sketch changing as a result. Looking at the constraints doesn’t seem to give any indication of why other sketch features were modified along with my modification.

Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:

There should be more clarity in the chain of constraints that will be (or are being) affected by a given change, more predictability of those changes, or simpler control over which constraints to take into account during a given move. When this happens, it’s almost always due to constraints I didn’t even realize were there (radius, connected points, etc). Like, I have basically no clue why this operation just destroyed my sketch:

What can’t you achieve without this feature?

This issue causes modifying sketches to be extremely counter-intuitive, IMO

Hello Justin,

Totally agree. Very annoying. Teaches me to be extremely careful and to “lock” critical points.

Same. I just hate that I’m kind of doing it blindly. Most of the time I see what breaks, undo, then go back and lock those points and try again. Repeat until it works.
