Physics Asset Constraint not working as expected

Someone on the Unreal Slackers Discord group pointed me in the right direction. Apparently when you are rotating the constraint with the rotation tool, even though the widget arcs are rotating, leading you to expect that the constraint should operate within that visual arc, that’s not what is actually happening. You need to use ALT+Rotate tool in order to rotate the “frame of reference” without also rotating the constraint. I don’t fully understand the relationship between the two at the moment,…
