    All,

    I've noticed some decidedly weird behaviour with 3D sketches in 2003Sp5.0:

    1a. create a route path with straight lines and dimension until fully
    constrained
    1b. fillet the lines some arbitrary amount, with constrained corners checked
    1c. delete a fillet dimension
    1d. select dimension tool and try to re-dimension the radius - I can't pick
    it!

    2a. model two blocks (same size, shape and orientation, but offset in x, y
    and z) in a part file.
    2b. start a 3d sketch and pick and convert an equivalent edge on both bodies
    (if this makes sense if not, let me know in the group and I'll send the
    part)
    2c. drag the furthest endpoints towards each other and then connect with a
    third line.
    2d. dimension from the end point of one of the lines in 2b to the face at
    which the other end point is anchored. repeat for the other line and your
    sketch yould be fully constrained
    2e. add two fillets (keep constraints on) - the connecting line becomes
    underconstrained. why?
    2f. try to change the fillet radius. sketch is now overconstrained. why?

    Might be time for a call to the VAR.

    Any other weirdness noted?
