Move circle to end of line

[kmanuele]

Simple sketch with circle, diameter dimensioned. Line drawn from center to arbitrary location.

Try move/copy circle point-to-point from center to end of line --- does not work.

Add a second point on the line, arbitrary location. Move/copy from center to that point -- works. Same with any other point on the sketch, except for the end of line.

Even if I explicitly add a point to the end of line, I can't move the circle there.

This seems a very odd restriction. Intended??

the center of the circle currently currently has a coincident constraint to the end of the line.  you might notice when you do the point to point move to the other points, the line comes along for the ride.  moving the circle to the other end of the line would cause the line have a zero length, which would be problematic  a happy restriction that it doesn't allow you to do that.

Thanks for the response.

Strange that drawing an object automatically constrains another object.  Same thing happens if I draw a line from anywhere on the circle.

Makes using construction lines and similar a bit awkward.

At least I can remove the constraint and move the circle.
