HowTo place a mate connector parallel to a face, coincident to a point/line

Hello,
i have a face, a sketch (rectangle) on this face. It's easy to place a mate connecter parallel to the face coincident to a point of the rectangle.
When the rectangle is not closed, i am not able to place the mate connector parallel to the face.
It's always orthogonal to a sketch line?
I can see that Onshape is treating the rectangle different than the lines.
Selecting the face i get major points of the rectangle highlighted.
Major points of the lines are not highlighted?!
What am i doing wrong?
I need a mate connector parallel to the face sitting on a point of the line...
regards
Wolfgang

Position the mate connector on the line, then change the primary axis. The closed rectangle creates a face and is treated like a face, that is why you are seeing different behaviour.
