Model is either solidworks part or STEP file not native Fusion geometry.

that rectangle is not on the sketch plane. You cannot use colinear on geometry that is not on the sketch plane:

you can also tell that this geometry is not on the plane by the existence of the "Move to Sketch Plane" command on the context menu:

Thanks.

Why is what I sketched not on the sketch plane? I started a sketch and then started drawing a 2 point rectangle on that sketch. Therefore the 2 point rectangle should be on the sketch plane, no?
