Troubling Joint issue. part rotating

[Anonymous]

Can someone please tell me why, when I create a Joint between two components, one of them unexpectedly rotates the angle? This is throwing off my whole work process as I need to rotate one of the components to the correct angle. However, after creating the joint the angle is weird. I need to rotate the component to an angle of 4.888, but after the joint is created the angle magically changes to 80 degrees with some funky angle I have never had the part at.

I have done this exact same thing many times and never experienced this before.

It's rotating the part about 5 degrees as soon as the joint is created. It does this even if I insert the component without any editing. As soon as the joint is completed the part angles itself.

Also, why can't I create two rigid joints through an component. For example, say I want to create two joints where two bolts would be holding a part to a fixture. This would in turn angle the part correctly. However, when I try to do this the joints fail.

Update:

The component I am trying to join to the other is orienting to the origin of the component I want to join it to. Why?

Maybe not, because its still doing the same thing. This is ridiculously annoying.

If you can share your model this will be easier to answer.
