About Sketcher Diagnostic Tools
Sketcher diagnostic tools are available via the Sketch tab. These tools either provide information about the sketch and sketch entities, or alter the display to highlight specific geometries.
For information on feature requirements in 3D Sketcher, use the following tool on the Sketch tab:
• 
Feature Requirements—Opens a window listing the requirements of the feature that the sketch is defining and shows the status of each requirement.
