We do no show constraints in the graphics-area. You must find the constraint you want to delete.

1.SHIFT + Click a Circle or Arc in the graphics area.

If the sketch-element has a CoincidentPtoP, CoincidentPtoL, or CoincidentPtoC constraint, it shows in the Selection-Window.

2.Right-click the CoincidentPtoP, CoincidentPtoL, or CoincidentPtoC constraint in the Selection-Window.

3.Click Delete element in the shortcut menu.

Coincident Constraint, Points, and Degrees-of-Freedom

A Point* has two degrees-of-freedom. You cannot remove three degrees-of-freedom from a Point*.

For example:

You add a Coincident Constraint between a Point* and a Line** (CoincidentPtoL) you remove 1 degree-of-freedom.

Then, it is not possible to add a Coincident Constraint between the same Point and the start-Point or end-Point of the Line** (CoincidentPtoP) as that attempts to remove 2 more degrees-of-freedom, a total of three degrees-of-freedom.

It is not possible to remove three(3) degrees-of-freedom from a Point*.

To correct the problem, you must delete the CoincidentPtoL - see How to delete a Constraint

* Point, start-Point, end-Point, or center-Point
