Aligning Sketch Rotation"Origin"

lukas_sturm148lukas_sturm148 Member Posts: 6 EDU
Hi there, I am having a hard time wording my problem :)

I am working on a triangle model.
The edges are drafted, I want to create a sketch on the draft.

But the sketch seems rotated. The Y axis (not sure it its y or x) does not "lie" on the top plane.
Now I cant constraint properly because it is not parallel.
How can I "rotate" the sketch so it fits better ?

The sketch on the draft that is on the front works fine.

I hope my problem description makes sence.
Thanks :)

Some images:

Constraints are also rotated :( :

    Use a mate connector (aligned) for the sketch plane
