Sketch lines keep flipping sides
Sketch lines keep flipping sides
(OP)
I have the attached part file that I am having a problem getting the lines to stay on the same side (or in the same Quadrant).
If you toggle the configuration parameter from 1 to 2, it does just what I would like for it to do. (To simply adjust the lines from on curve to the other but staying in the same quadrant.)
But if you toggle from configuration 2 back to 1, then the lines flip over to the opposite side of the sketch.
Is there any way to force a line to go in one direction or any way to keep it from flipping over?
This is a simpliied example of what I need, but the general idea is the same. The dimensions in the sketch are chord dimensions which is how I need to drive the locations of the points (or the end points of the lines). So I don't necessairly need the lines, but I do need the chord dimensions to go on the curve.
The configuration parameter toggles the Curve.3 from Sketch 1 to Sketch 2 and is defined in Rule.1.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
If you would be so kind as to attach a file if possible, it would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the link. I believe this fixed my problem. At least in this simplified part it did, so it is very hopeful.
Again, thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.
