Can't properly create a joint between two sheet metal components

I'm trying to create a rigid joint between two sheet metal components. The joint preview looks correct, but it changes position when I click OK.

[BTW, workaround (in my case) is to move the two components into position with the Align command, then use an As Built Joint instead. That doesn't have the problem shown above.]

Hi robduarte,

thanks for bringing this up. That's a nasty one. Glad you found a work around. I've forwarded this on to our sheet metal dev team to take a look at this. Hope you're recovering from Irma quickly.

Thanks for the reply. We're okay after the hurricane - lots of preparation, but it didn't do much up here.
