In-Context References

Why does Onshape take a lot longer to add in-context references to a sketch?

I find it a lot faster if I just use parts that were created directly in the part studio.

The reason no one is answering this is that 'creating an in-context feature' encompasses several steps.
Without a more detailed description or a link to a document, its almost impossible to give you a meaningful answer.
What is taking a 'long time'?

It takes a second or so to add the first reference because internally it must create a "context" so that your references do not update until you ask them to. Referencing a Part in the same Part Studio does not do this.

Neil - you spoilt my fun!
I was waiting to give him the tip to hide parts in the assembly before creating the context to keep clutter down and improve performance
