Extra info...

I just tried a couple of other things. I saved the drawing in version 2.1.3 with some tangent lines drawn on the circles and ellipse. I then opened that drawing in version 2.2.0 and I could draw tangent lines with the Tangent Orthogonal command by first selecting one of the tangent lines then moving the pointer near to any of the associated circles.  But it still not not "see" the circles or ellipse with the Tangent (P,C) nor the Tangent (C,C) commands. I made a separate layer (green lines) for the Tangent Orthogonal lines to differentiate what lines I was able to draw in version 2.2.0 and also made a couple of Tangent Orthogonal lines on the initial layer (blue lines). But all other tangent lines between circles or the ellipse I had to create in version 2.1.3 and save the file then open it in version 2.2.0
