I have a sketch with a pierce relation to a curve earlier in the feature tree. This curve passes through the sketch plane at two points (imagine a circle drawn on the top plane, and a sketch on the right plane which is intersected twice by the circle). Is there any way I can enforce which of the two potential pierce points are used when the sketch is rebuilt? If I do a full rebuild [CTRL + Q] the relation picks the wrong point perhaps 50% of the time.

Can anyone give me any sketch tips to make this geometry more stable?


My actual sketch geometry is pictured here:

Doing adding some construction lines to connect a few elements together with a triangle like this might improve things, but this seems like a hand-wavy method to handle this situation.

Thanks!
