Negative value for Graph

Using WF3 - WF4
I defined a Graph feature to drive a Var Sec Sweep surface.
I found out that if I draw a graph with negative value , the Var Sec
Sweep fails.
Is it true ?
any trick to solve the problem?

Thanks

I can't visualize what could, even theoretically, be graphed to a negative value. Could you give an example?

If you draw a graph, you have a 2d-coordinate-system with X axs and Y

The Y values could be negative ?

I hope to have been clear.

I see how the values could be negative, at least for the graph. But why not just move all of it above the zero line? The problem you're running into is the dual use of the negative sign as an operator (directional) and as an absolute value. Your graph no doubt has the negatives as absolute values while the operation of moving the angle can't deal with the absolute negative values since you couldn't manaully put them in a sketch. So, for example, if you dragged your line segment with the five degree angle to the other side of the dimensioning reference, it still wouldn't be~would NEVER be~a minus 5 degree angle. If you can't do it manually in a sketch, you can't make a graph do it either.
