I’ve created a simple library feature but it does not work correctly.
The features one set of features (green highlight) came in correctly but when I tried to create more using the same library feature in a different orientation, it errors out.
It would seem that it’s recognizing a horizontal/vertical from the library feature and tries to fit that orientation.
Attached is the file if anyone has an idea that might work.

I got it to work by deleting all the horizontal/vertical relations and applying parallel/perpendicular ones. I accidentally deleted two points, but don’t have time to fix it right now. At least the errors are gone.
mike miller may be wrong about other things, but he’s right about this…
Think about your library components as if they were independent blocks. If you add any relations that require an orientation and you don’t want that orientation it’ll break the library feature. This was done intentionally because sometimes you may want a library feature with such a relation. So what this results in is that you have to be extra careful about all the relations when creating a library feature. Definitely use Display/Delete Relations when creating these Library Features or you’ll end up in this situation again.
TL:DR Just do what Mike posted and if you ever see the need for a horizontal or vertical relation, add it, but be careful.
I’m never wrong. Actually, I was wrong once, but then I found out later that I was right after all.
