Hello, I’m having an issue with my drawing moving from the origin point when adding other sketch elements. If I draw a simple box with the origin point at the center then add a line with a dimension it works fine but if I add a second line the whole drawing moves. What’s happening?  
I’ve been using the app for a few years mostly without problems.

Lock the first line before drawing the second one.
