Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  Incident Diagnosis:
  CREATION OF NORMAL LINE MOVES POINT OF
  CURVE.
  .
  Restriction Explanation:
  As specified in Sketcher's documentation:
  Lines normal to a curve are created as close as
  possible to where you clicked on the curve. You will
  get better results if, before clicking the curve, you
  try to position the line as perpendicular to the
  curve as possible.
  .
  As explained, point which is relevant for the line
  creation is the one indicated on the second curve.
  First point will always slide along its curve so that
  the line becomes normal to the second curve.
