Hi everyone,  
One of my students is having an issue with sketching on the XY plane. He has one sketch on the plane. When he tries to do a new sketch, the moment he tries to put the rectangle down, a different sketch appears with dimensions on it. It turns out that the sketch which keeps re-appearing is the first sketch that he did. None of the other students has this issue.
