Plane at line angle - angle changes

graham_lockgraham_lock Member Posts: 265 PRO

Hi,

I have a plane at line angle where the plane angle changes depending on the angle of the line it is referenced to.

I'm sure it's something I'm misunderstanding.

An example is below:

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

    This way of making a plane can be unpredictable like you have found. Try using a mate connector instead. You can fully define the primary and secondary axis direction.
