I am having a very difficult time with sketch mode and the ‘stealth’ constraints it apparently applies to drawings.

This happens to me all the time. As far as I am aware, as evidenced by the right-hand buttons list, ALL my constraints are OFF. Yet I can not expand a circle that I sketched on the face of a body.

I do not understand what the issue is. I even clicked “lock” and tried it in ‘unlock mode’ but I still can not use the arrows to expand the diameter of the sketched circle.

I don’t see any other buttons or controls I can try to allow me alter the size of the circle.

Hard to say something by your photo. If you can share your project I will tell you what exactly is going on there.
