I am not sure if this is a bug but it looks like when you start a sketch and add a circle then stay in the circle command and add another circle to the existing center point it keeps saying “locked point can’t be moved” which I am not trying to move I am just trying to add a new sketch circle to a existing center circle. Same thing happens with adding center point rectangle. It works fine if you get out of the command but I remember that before you never had to get t of the sketch command. Let me know what you think.

Thank you

I was in Windows if that makes a difference and i put the center of the circle on the default planes. After placing the first circle do not get out of the circle command and hover over the existing first center and wait until it says “Circle Center” then try to place the new circle at the center you should get a “locked point can’t be moved” let me know what you come with.

Thank you

That’s exactly what I’ve done on a video, except Windows which I don’t have at home more the 15 years so far…

Don’t hold the mouse button then dragging. Just click on the point, release the mouse button and start drawing the circle.
