Hi all,
I am trying to draft some dovetails I have made (I followed Mark's video, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3onE2S0JwQw&t=1677s), but I am having some issues with the direction of the draft on one of the pieces.
The first piece seems to have drafted fine:
But this happens with the second piece:
I was reading the wikipage for PartDesign, Draft Tool, and it says that, "The Draft tool will only function on faces that are normal to each other," so I am thinking that maybe this is my issue, although Mark seemed to do it fine in his video.
I appreciate your time, and this is my first time posting so please let me know if I forgot anything, thanks.
Edit: Fixed some images, thanks Chris.

I figured out that I had to have the underlying sketch set to both axes z and y = 1, and it seems to work.
Thanks.
Thanks.
