Is over-constraining bad? (by wolfv)
I like how SolveSpace keeps everything tidy and minimal. It has a very clean workflow.
Is there an advantage to not over constraining?
Seems like it would be easier to have "allow redundant constraints" on permanently.

I think it's better to exactly constrain sketches, because that improves the probability that you understand the design intent and tolerance implications of your constraints. Most people don't seem to care, though.

@Jonathan, I've also discovered recently that allowing redundant constraints tends to decrease numerical stability of sketches. I do not understand the reason for it though.

Thanks Jonathan and whitequark.
I admit that my understanding of constraints has improved since using SolveSpace.
