The dimension tool does not lock on

my instance is when trying to dimension between outside of 2 separate circles, as in the bracket tutorial. The first time I did the drawing it worked fine, I tried doing it over and this time it would not work, it spins on the circle and locks to the inner side of the first circle I click on.

I have made sure all units are set to mm in all function trees as I discovered they did not change from inches to mm from the main profile. I
finally saw in a tutorial they could be changed in the docs tree on the upper left, that fixed the dimension values but the snapping on  problem still remains.. . .I have tried starting new document, finding a similar problem in forums to no avail , am in need of suggestions please.

    Update: Falling back on the old turn it off turn it back on standby used for nearly everything electronic, rebooting my PC seems to have done the trick. Not sure, but I believe I broke it when changing between inches and mm's in the main profile, while being a noob, (an old noob)I did not catch immediately the document tree option to change this. Don't know, but it now works, so MY BAD!
