When you are using fusion to import files sketch checker is great to have it saves a lot of time.
You can download it here.

Do you need the full version of Fusion to get the Sketch Checker? I have the Hobbyist version!

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I’ll dig deeper into the sketch to find the open line. And also check on Sketch Checker. Thanks for the help and have a great day!
