Constraining Sketcher Entities

Sketcher entities can be constrained in two ways:

Reasons to define the sketch entities

Fully defined sketches describe the desired relationships between parameters, making the finished sketch more stable and reliable. Future changes to the sketch will be easier and will not destabilize the rest of the sketch. The system has to make fewer calculations when working with a fully constrained sketch, so defining can help with performance.
