About hunting down under-constained items in a sketch?

My version of FreeCAD is 0.20.2 running on a LinuxMint. I know finding missing constraints is a common problem, and I would think there must have been lots of previous posts on this, but alas, the search bar won't oblige because the words "constrained", or "under constrained" are...

Adrian - thanks so much.
I will try out one of the other ways. I will probably be OK with the 0.20 appimage.

FreeCAD Fasteners Workbench not in Addon manager ??

I have FreeCAD-Daily 0.21 up to date on Linux Mint 20.2 (Uma), and I am a user. I used to have the FreeCAD fasteners Workbench available on the Tools --> Addon manager, but now it seems to have disappeared. There is content at GitHub, but before I go there, I ask here. Have I missed something recent?

Re: [Feature Request] Radial array/polar pattern in Sketcher

My apologies that I reply to a thread that is months old. I do perceive the need for a polar array feature withing the sketcher, if only to greatly ease the need to be making many separate repeats of a feature that will be given form when the sketch is padded. Something as simple as a set of equally...

Rotational Balance and Vibration

Are there FreeCAD tools or workbenches that can aid in making designs that are vibration free when rotated?

Show or hide "all except" ??

Is there an easy way to select a part (or parts) in a complex assembly, and then temporarily hide "everything except" that part (or parts)?
I can get a part shown on it's own, but I have to repeatedly select everything else.
