I have a guide rail intersecting four sketches to create a loft. I can select three of these sketches and everything works fine. However this means I have to skip the second sketch to make it work. If I go in order, selecting the first sketch, when I select the second sketch the reference arrow instead of pointing along the general axis of the guide rail goes shooting off at about a 30* angle away from the guide rail and the loft will not complete because it tells me the guide rail is not intersecting one of the sketches. No kidding! Any idea why it would be doing this? I have a small file that I could send if someone is willing to take a look at it. I would be very greatful. Thanks in advance.

Also, I tried a couple of diffent ways to add a screenshot. If you have a suggestion in this regard as well, I would be glad to hear it.
 
Thanks

If my problem looked familiar to anyone, I found a simple solution. I tried the loft from the opposite direction (opposite order of selected objects) and it worked fine. I'm still not sure why it did not work in the other order, but at least I could get it to function.
