How and Why to Fully Constrain Sketches in Fusion 360

The video tutorial explains the importance of fully defining 2D sketches in Fusion 360, emphasizing that while not required, it is a best practice. It covers understanding geometry colors, where blue indicates undefined geometry and black indicates fully defined geometry. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply constraints and dimensions to achieve a fully defined sketch, using a flange as an example. It highlights the use of symmetry and construction lines to minimize dimensions and maintain design intent. The tutorial concludes with checking the sketch status in the browser and ensuring all geometry is fully defined.
