[Connect - CPP] Problems with pattern angle

Hi all

I got some problems with the pattern angle in Connect. The angle of the pattern is relative to the angle between the first two points in the shape. I expected it to be relative to a horizontal line. To illustrate my problem I've made a small test program:

DPoint3d pts[5];
	pts[0].x = pts[0].y = 0;
	pts[1].x = 10000;
	pts[1].y = 3000;
	pts[2].x = 3000;
	pts[2].y = 8000;
	pts[3].x = -2000;
	pts[3].y = 2000;
	pts[4].x = pts[4].y = 0;
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
		pts[i].z = 0;
	EditElementHandle eeh;
	ShapeHandler::CreateShapeElement(eeh, NULL, pts, 5, true, *ISessionMgr::GetActiveDgnModelRefP());

	PatternParamsPtr	patPar = PatternParams::Create();
	patPar->SetPrimarySpacing(500.0);
	patPar->SetPrimaryAngle(fc_piover180*45);

	patPar->SetSecondarySpacing(500.0);
	patPar->SetSecondaryAngle(fc_piover180*135);

	ShapeHandler::GetInstance().AddPattern(eeh, *patPar, NULL, 0);
	eeh.AddToModel();

If you close the designfile and open it in V8i you will see that the pattern is now displayed correctly - the angle of the pattern is relative to a horizontal line. What can I do to make the pattern look that way in Connect ?

TIA...
