NOOB, How do I make a parallelogram?

I have been trying to figure out how to make a parallelogram in fusion 360.  I started with a rectangle, assuming I could just tweak the angles and get a parallelogram.  That does not work due to constraints.  Yet it seems to me to be the intuitive way to do it.

 

what am I missing?

Delete the Perpendicular and/or Vertical.

Hi @john.a.timon.

As you noted, a rectangle comes with perpendicular in its edges. Yes, you can delete these constraints, but you could draw the parallelogram using four lines, them add two parallel constraints and the angle.
