Constraint Bug ?

Simply adding a line or projecting a point to the sketch skews the previously created three point arcs.

Hi @etfrench,

 

It looks like the problem is that tangent constraint.  If you look at the error for that sketch, you can see that this constraint is the error in this sketch.

If you delete this constraint, this behavior does not occur.  The weird thing is:  It's not clear what this tangent is supposed to do.  I don't see what the "other" geometry is for this constraint.  Do you have any recollection of when this constraint was added, and what it was supposed to do?

The three point arc was created by selecting end points on the construction line and tangent to the top line which was created when the sketch was created using the face of component1 as the base.  (Don't you just love run on sentences Smiley Happy )  I'm not sure why the end of the arc is no longer coincident with the construction line.

filed as FUS-34745.  Thanks for the info and sharing the design.  We'll try to track down how this happened.
