Cant add perpendiciluar constraints. "Failed to solve. Try revising dimensions or constraints"

My work file can be found here: https://a360.co/3vMkDnP

 

I am new to A360 and i am trying to follow the official guide posted here:

 https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-AB8D9509-5B0D-4E64-8CB2-E037089E4214

 

PROBLEM: In step 3 in the guide you are supposed to add constraints. When i try to add perpendiciluar constraints, I get an error saying  "Failed to solve. Try revising dimensions or constraints". What am i doing wrong?

 

Thanks for any help!

You are not following that tutorial precisely, but have gotten ahead and applied dimensions to additional construction lines before getting to the part where the perpendicularity constraint has to be applied!

 

In that slanted leg, you have already all of the angles between lines defined by those dimensions, and that prevents the perpendicularity constraint to happen.

Thank you very much for your help 😊. I have now deleted everything else except the sketchlines and then added the constraints as per the guide and now it worked. Thanks a lot!

I have now stumbled upon another problem. Ive come this far in the guide: 

 

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-6A2AE9D9-F966-4B0A-B3F2-8ABEA655C89F

 

Regarding step 4C, when i apply the parallel constraint to the two lines, the lines jump out of their original place and goes far away from the model. Why?

 

Sorry for disturbing you once again...
