You can close the sketch and Use Part WB, Validate sketch to find non-coincident vertexes...the choice is be proactive while in the sketch or not.

We have been making this far too complicated. Use the Draft workbench Move tool, make sure snapping is active with snap types midpoint and snap angle selected. Great method and thanks for the info. Only problem is that the shapes are not lined up. Have nay clues on how to lign them up as the ones i...

Re: Fully constrained sketch won't pad
There is a bit of misconception about the state "fully constrained". It really means all DOF's have a constraint applied and there are no redundant, over constraints, etc. situations. Fully constrained means all DOF (degrees of freedom) have been addressed. So, the vertexes in question are...
