Center point circle won't define

Member Posts: 9 ✭
I followed the example exactly as shown in the official onshape help page at
However, no matter what I do, the sketch I created of one circle continues to say "sketch is not fully defined.
Please tell me what I am not clicking after I create the circle. I want it to be JUST one circle on a plane in the spot I initially placed it. It has a dimension beside it, so I dimensioned it correctly. But it will no "fully define" Please help!

You need to consyrain the diameter of the circle, as well as the x,y location of its centre relative to the origin.
Thank you. But can you tell me what exactly to do? I'm looking at the blue circle with the diameter callout next to it. So I did create the dimension.
Can you please tell me what to click and in what order so that this circle will become fully defined? Been at this for hours. Nothing on YouTube. Nothing on the onshape site, except the video. Maybe something isn't configured in a preference, because I followed that video step by step. Theirs is defined, mine isn't!
Yes, but apparently I don't know how. As I said, I followed the video exactly. Maybe there is a setting somewhere that I'm missing.
The circle centre has to be related to something, otherwise it is floating in space = under defined. Drag it to the origin (the white dot in the centre of the screen) or add two dimensions (one horizontal, one vertical) between the centre of the circle and the origin (or something else that is fixed - plane or other geometry),
Yes, I am aware I need to do that, but I can't find out HOW to do it. I followed the only video I could find (the one I linked to in my original post) and I still have the problem. So, I am including a video of what I am doing. Maybe someone can watch this one to understand what I am asking. I posted it to Youtube as a private video below:
Any and all help is appreciated. Letting me know what to click in what order would really be helpful. Thank you!
The learning center videos are also quite helpful.
Thank you Oliver for responding. But I am a noob and am stuck having worked on this for hours. I am sure it is a very simple process, if I knew how!
So to illustrate my dilemma I created a video below. Please watch it and tell me what I am missing to do. Yes, I know I need to constrain the circle and put its location in the x,y. But I can't seem to figure that out. Any and all help is appreciated.
Neil,
Well, this is close to what I need, and I have watched those videos. But please watch the vid I just posted on my dilemma. The picture you posted is good, but those horizontal and video axis don't show up in the plane I am looking at. Maybe that's what I am missing?
If I drag it to the center, it moves where I want it to be.
Default planes are hidden, click the eye to show or press 'p' repeatedly until they all show.
PLus you can dimension direct to the origin (or the centre of the first circle), you don't really need the planes.
You need an X and Y constraint (dimensions in this case probably) so that onshape knows exactly where you want the other circle not to move from.
