I can get the axes to follow the bend back feature but the reference pattern fails to follow past the bend. It is a tedious assembly. Avoid trying to use tangent as it seems to always create the tangent opposite where you want it with no "next solution" available. As David recommends, you can place points at the intersect of a rounded plane (cylindrical) and the axis. Then you have an axis for alignment and a point for "depth". You will need that point in both features, though. CSYS might be better, but they too require a lot of "maintenance". Why can we not have a CSYS mate to a point as a constraint?
