Why model with a work plane taking right side as its origin. Model is attached.

Why create the workplane?

Just use the XZ origin plane

I would suspect that the original (first sketch) was drawn on the left side of the origin planes. Can you attach the file in 2015 and I can look at it.

Its not..

First feature is centered on the center point.

Its goofy.. Maybe because its a plane over an already existing plane..

I prefer work plane because it is fixed to the model, in case I move the model it move with it. Conventional planes (Having X, Y, and Z as axis) are fixed to the work space. In case I move the model plane will not move.

My one is 2016 software. I try to save it in 2015 but I couldn’t. Screenshot is attached.

Why using workplanes, unless you need it !!! you are only turning the files heavier...

And why you must have it visivel? i'ts only more dificult to view properlly the work...

Always (as you can, use the origin planes axis and center point), ...why? because they will be always there and fixed.

Nevertheless, the plane is deslocated most probably becaouse you doest draw the sketch centered with center point. The work planes "always" adapt to cover the solid created.

Can you tell me please under what circumstances you need workplanes?

Why dont you post the part... and we try to correct you...??!!!

I posted it in my 1st post even though I attach my model again.

Sorry, didnt saw it...

first, always constrain your sketches: below rigth you will be informed how many degrees of freedom you have to constrain.

You can constrain sketches with dimentions and geometrical constrains. Most of times, you dont need to have construction lines, a horizontal or vertical relantionship between points will do the trick. Create constrains until your sketch become Fully Constrain.

second, as you can, use the origin planes, the part will be lighter.

third, construt work features only when you can't use origin planes. Check the part, you will have all this corrected.

None of us know why its like that..

"stuff happens"..

In other posts you seemed to have other "random" issues and a restart of your computer fixed them so maybe there was just something "off" with your computer that caused a few problems..
