Sketcher tangent constraint bug

Draw two offset lines, draw a circle tangent to both lines --> works OK:

Try exactly the same, but with projected geometry instead of sketched geometry. --> it fails to compute:

This might be related to this bug.

I discovered it depends on where you click on the circle:

 

Click here, it works:

 

Before:

After:

Click somewhere else, it fails:

EDIT: It's fiddly: if you find a position that works, and then undo and repeat, it often also fails even though you click at a very close position as the one that just worked.

Hi @johan.rutgeerts 

 

Thanks for reporting this, I'll pass it on to the development team to investigate

This is clearly a bug. I have created FUS-103945 to track it.

I am 100% convinced the bug is really related to the Offset line. The implementation of the sketch offset has been very shaky from the beginning.

 

That is the reason I avoid the offset command almost completely!

I tried again without using sketch offset, see image below.

I get no errors when applying a tangent constraint between the circle and the lowest line.

I get a 'Failed to solve' error when applying the tangent constraint between the circle and the lower projected line.

Strangely it does work with the upper projected line:
