I'm trying to model a VESA mount, but I'm having trouble connecting some vertices of arcs crossing circles, see the red squares in the following image. I found out that I had open vertices by using the 'validate sketch' function.

I have tried and retried to constrain the arc in different ways hoping that the vertices close, but nothing worked. I have tried using the point on an object constrained, making a point on the intersection between the circle and the construction line and than using the coincident restraint to tie the end of the arc to that point and I tried to make the 'Close Shape' tool work. I tried finding the solution on the forum and I found similar problems, but none of those solutions worked for me. Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
If you want to pad the sketch it must not have any crossings or T-joins. This is an example that pads:

Well now that I think about it that makes a lot of sense, thanks!
