Reason why I can't enter docking mode?

I try and click "control from here" to enter docking mode, but nothing happens. It says "locked" as well so is it a question of not having electricity or something?

Docking mode is accessed from the second (middle) of three icons in the bottom left of the flight UI, the first (top) being staging mode, and the third (bottom) being the map

To actually dock though, you need to bring the docking ports of both craft together slowly and facing each other nearly straight on.

To expand on that, clicking "control from here" has nothing to do with docking mode. Rather it switches the nav ball into "as seen from this part."

Oh.. Well then. I shall get back to it! Thanks you guys!
