Hey all I'm confused. I have an assembly with a assembly sketch. In a part I have a sketch. I would like to set a line length equal to a line in the assembly sketch. I can only do this if the part sketch is in the same plane as (or I assume parallel to) the assembly sketch. Actually I can do it sometimes, it seems to depend on the horizontal or vertical relationship of the lines as well. What am I missing?

Mark,
I suspect it does a "project" onto the sketch plane, and if its perpendicular it doesn't work. This applies with sketches within a single part too, not just when trying to link to an assembly sketch.
I'd suggest using an equation to match the dimensions instead.

Thanks, that appears to be the issue.
