How to Make a Sketch Change With an Assembly
Hi,
So I know there is a use function that allows you to use assembly sketch instances in your sketch. The issue I have found when using it is when you change the assembly like move the parts around the use function doesn't really respect that. It doesn't redraw the sketch because you moved the parts its like the use function is a one time thing is completely static. I was wondering if there was a way to make a sketch dynamically change when assembly parts move. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much

@devin_willis - Owen is right - an Incontext feature is the way to go.
Here is an example.
