Scripting Assembly using AddBiEltCst and Orientation?

I'm trying to make two planes coincident.

Code:

Set constraint1 = constraints1.AddBiEltCst(catCstOrientSame, sref, lref1)

My code won't work when applying the Orientation, Unless my formatting is incorrect. The "CatConstraintOrientation" is what the help file directs me to.

Otherwise the code works as "CatCsTypeOn" for a coincident constraint.

Another way I have worked around it was to pro-rotate my plane by 180deg. Then the assembly works fine with "CatCsTypeOn". I'd still like to know how to control orientation.

Thanks
