Why is my circular pattern not defined?

I am new to Onshape, so please pardon me if this is a dumb question. I am trying to create a 2D circular pattern about the origin in a sketch. I am starting with a black defined element. When I set all the parameters and click on the left mouse button the pattern appears as expected, but all of the elements in the pattern are blue (undefined) except for the original element. I thought that I must have done something wrong, but then I watched the tutorial video and the same thing happens in the tutorial video. How do get the elements in my pattern to be black (defined)???

    You need to make the center of the pattern coincident to something (seems like you want the origin in this case). If you drag the pattern slightly you should see a blue point which is the center of the circular pattern. Add a coincident relation with the origin.
