Bug in Attachment placement of body element...

[hinckel]

In the Part Design WB, create a New Body.

• New Sketch, choose the XZ-plane
• Choose the Data tab in the panel.
• Attachment -> Position -> X -> increase by xx. Coodinate axes of sketch plane move xx in the +X direction (to the right)
• Aattachment -> Position -> Z -> increase by zz. Coordinate axes of the sketch plane move zz in the -Y axis direction
• Attachment -> Position -> Y -> increase by yy. Coordente axes of the sketch plane move yy in the +Z direction (up).
• Attachment position vector shows [xx,yy,00]
• Placment position vector sows [xx,00,yy].

Apparent mix-up of Z axis and -Y axis directions in the Gui.

For all attachments Z-direction is always perpendicular to the plane.

Thanks for the information @chrisb. A little bit counter-intuitive, but, if it is by design, it's fine. The result is correct.

It comes probably from attachment of DatumPlanes where it is sensible. Z is always perpendicular to the plane.
