finding open ends in a sketch

When Proe gives you this message, the "open ends" will be highlighted in red. Sometimes you will have to zoom in to see them. They are not easy to see. Sometimes you can have 2 identical entities on top of each other. If this is the case, delete one of the entities. If not, use "trim" to close the sketch, or sketch another entity to close the sketch.
 
I worked with Alibre for 2 years, what they had wasa buttoncalled sketch integrity. It would make a little report about double entities, corners not closed, stuff like that, and highlight where the problem was. I wish PTC would incorporate something similar.

If there are open ends in the sketch, there are also more than the required dimensions or constrains.
To find the open endI change such a not required dimension and I can see what happens to the sketch.
