Ive just had this happen to me also.....
Make sure, on the sketch tab (click on the sneaky down arrow) that Constraint Inference and Constrait Persistence are turned on.
If that hasent fixed it, check under your right click while in sketch mode Constraint options, have all the boxes ticked.
Also on application options, tick the box that shows "display coincident constraint on sketch creation"
This is great for highlighting a missed coincident constraint.
hope this helps.

I have the green dot problem too. Looks like this post was a while ago, but thought I would try anyway. I'm looking at the .jpg you attached, and it looks very helpful, but it does not look like my screen. I have not used Inventor enough maybe, but I do not have a "sketch tab" like you show. Can you tell me how to get to that view? I am running 2009 to stay with the folks on the project I am working; maybe that is the problem. Thanks for any help.

The interface was changed to a Ribbon Interface in 2010 - your screen will look different.
While in the sketch environment check your Constraint Persistence (looks very similar to Perpendicular Constraint Icon and close to the Constraint icons. If you have not accidently turned off Constraint Persistance then right click the graphics window and check Constraint Options.
If you still can't figure it out - post a screen shot of your sketch environment screen.
What is weird for me is that, if I create a new models the green dot and yellow dot appear. However if I work on an older model, the green and yellow dot do not appear. Everything is check under constraint options and Constraint Persistence is on.

Attach file here that exhibits this behavior.
Turns out it is my part that is causing the problem. After leaving Inventor and going back into it, things went back to normal. However the more I worked on the part again, it became progressivly unstable. Not sure why the model is doing that.
