How to connect a curved line segment to a straight line segment.

[Im1in260m]

I want to connect a short curved line to a straight line. Constraints will not allow me to make the two coincident. When I choose the curved line the coincident option is disabled. Without being able to connect the two, I cannot finish the sketch with closed geometry. I need this sketch complete so I can loft the base to the top of the model. In the attached file you will see the problem exists in three separate sketches.

Thank you.

Your sketch already has Coincident Constraints between the end curves and the straight sides, you just need a couple of other constraints and dimensions to make it fully constrained.

You can also accomplish the same thing using your Handle sketch.

Thank you, John, for your reply. I was still not able to duplicate your moves. I get "Over constrained" errors. But I was still able to export it to an STL file and print it. I frequently run into problems like this which tells me I am doing it wrong in the first place.

I'm marking this thread as answered so it isn't sitting open.

Thanks again.
