Summary0002994: Validate Sketch's missing coincidence tool finds false positives
DescriptionThe "missing coincidences" utility from the Sketch --> Validate sketch tool finds false missing coincidences when point-to-point tangent and perpendicular constraints are used. If the user clicks the "Fix" button to add the missing constraints, the sketch becomes over-constrained.

Point-to-point tangent and perpendicular constraints are recommended use, and it is how the Sketcher Polyline automatically applies constraints between segments. Therefore this is clearly a bug in the Validate sketch tool which brings confusion to end users, and it should be addressed.
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a new document, switch to the Sketcher workbench
  2. Create a new sketch
  3. Start the Polyline tool
  4. After creating the first line segment, hit the M key 3 times to toggle to the tangent arc mode
  5. Click in the 3D view to create the tangent arc
  6. Right-click to terminate the Polyline tool
  7. Exit the sketch
  8. Go to Sketch --> Validate sketch...
  9. Under Missing coincidences, click on "Find"
  10. A dialog reports 1 missing coincidence constraint found
  11. Click on "Fix"
  12. In the tree, the Sketch icon now has an exclamation point
  13. Edit the sketch, the solver messages box reports "Sketch contains redundant constraints" and instructs to remove the coincident constraint added by the Validate sketch utility.
