new sketches being created, old one not editable

Running OnShape on an iPad Pro 12.9”.  All software is up-to-date as far as my iPad knows.

New user trying to figure out how to use OnShape.  My problem happens like so:

  1. Create new parts studio
  2. Set view to front
  3. Create several connected shapes
  4. Step away for a bit, maybe 1 hour
  5. Upon returning the view has reverted to the default, 3 plane view.
  6. Set view to front again
  7. Create construction line.  This creates a new sketch
  8. Try to trim lines in Sketch 1.  Error: This entity cannot be trimmed or something like it.  Trying to dimension anything fails.
I can provide more information, if there is any.  I can also troubleshoot if instructions are given.

One thing to note.  I switch “Accessibility” on and off constantly.  I have tried these operations with the Magnifier both on and off. 

Thanks,
Robert

    Thanks.  Selecting the three dots and choosing edit did the trick.  I’m still a little confused as to why more sketches are being generated.

    Best,

    Thanks Neil.  That answers my other question.  Is this confirmation check mark on the small pop out window that has the constraints listed?

    Yes it is - on the title bar of that dialog (that pops up from the bottom of the screen).
