In the model with the link below; Editing Sketch 4, disables Sketches 5 and 6 (and also the planes they are built on); so for any feature of Sketch 5 or Sketch 6, one cannot 'Use' in Sketch 4 - which is what i want to do.

I am fully aware that there are 'work-arounds' however, my objective is to have the entire model of the spaceframe (square hollow steel tube) 'Sketch-driven'

I look forward to some feed-back ... Thanks

The feature list down the left is time dependent, meaning that everything after sketch4 does not exist yet (while editing sketch4). You can reorder features using drag and drop in the list to make those sketches come before sketch4 and therefore referencable. If that doesn’t work for you, you’ll have to rethink your sketches
