Under defined, fully defined, and over defined sketches

SOLIDWORKS sketches can fall under three status categories according to how they are defined. They can be under defined, fully defined, or over defined. These terms have already been mentioned briefly, but in this section, we will explore what those statuses are, as well as some ways to deal with them. We will explore these different statuses by drawing and defining a triangle that's under defined so that it becomes over defined.
