OK so I have started learning, and am on my build you're first part tutorial, and I cannot get past the past the part where you start you're very first line!!. OK so I figured out how to draw the circles to 40 mm and 35 mm and I got them 90 mm apart. OK so try to get the line and my on shape behaves totally different than the tutorial shows it does not good on the outside circle line when I'm trying to get the dot on it. And even if I get lines on the page somehow close as possible( it only glows on the origin and the horizontal and parallel lines) to the tutorial as I can, I click on the circle and line and try the tangent thingy and it doesn't work. I have spent like an hour and a half just working on this tiny line. Why doesn't it work? Please someone help me out please.

Are you still editing the same sketch? If the circles are grey then you exited the sketch and started a new one. To edit an existing sketch, double click it in the feature list.
