I am trying to wrap this sketch
sketch.jpg

the middle point is constrained at the intersection of the angled line and a horizontal one
however when the wrap completes it seems as though the sketch has been shifted

any ideas why this is happening?
open to any suggestions and/or solutions

thanks

Put in a sketcher csys (insert in sketch mode). Then in your wrap command, select your start point as a csys and select it.

The reason this happens is that it automatically selects the "center" of the sketch as the wrap start point. Since your sketch isn't symmetric around where you want it to first contact (note how you have that extra little tail on the left), you can just make it happen manually.

Let me know how that works.
