Already Over Constrained?!

Greetings!

 

I'm having troubles with progressing in a Sketch that needed further editing...

 

As can be seen in the Screencast I tried adding a Symmetry Constraint to a line holding on to a Circle that will need to be centered between two other lines but apparently F360 laments this action Over Constraining the Sketch? Wut? 🤔

The two outside vertical lines show the Symmetrical constraint symbol on them before you try and add the Symmetrical constraint to the circle line.  What are they Symmetrical constrained to as this could influence the constraint you are trying to add.  Attach your file so the Forum users can take a closer look.

The two Construction Lines I attempted to use for the Symmetry Constraint had previously already been mirrored to a Centerline Construction Line ( somewhere to the right out of view ).

 

I just tested it on a brand-new sketch with just the bare minimum of details added to it to recreate the issue and yea... It happened there too which - IMHO - Doesn't make any sense to me but o-okay... 😑

@durahl - if you can share this simple re-creation, we'd be interested.  It may be a valid case of over-constraining, or it may be a bug.
