This is a curve, not a straight line.

Sketch1 is not fully defined.

Sketch3 is not fully defined.

Sketch4 indicates an unresolved issue.

Sketch6 is not fully defined.

Hi! Like JD found out, the edge is not straight. You can create a workaxis by picking the end points of the edge. Then Angular Constraint should work.

Many thanks!
