    Constraining sketches.

    I'm trying to constrain a circle to the origin, but it will not constrain. How I'm doing it is, I choose a circle, click the origin, type in the dimension. But it is still green. What do I need to do?

    Thanks.

    .
    (I'm assuming you're using Inventor)
    .
    Create your circle, then make two dimensions, clicking the **center** of the circle and the origin. Once the dimensions are created, change them to 0 and your circle will be constrained to the origin.
