Select items to insert

Doing context editing the menu that says: "Select items to insert" proposing select parts/surfaces/sketches
It does however only allow for a part, NOT a sketch to be selected.
Is that intended?

I removed it until I had chance to check something.
It works fine if the sketch has a "face" (i.e. it is an enclosed shape and is shaded) or you are using a face off the in-context assembly as the sketch plane. Looks like a bug - thanks for finding it.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI5 -

While were here. Is there a way to create a new context if you have inserted parts in an assembly without using "create studio in coontex"?
I have to manually go back to the assembly and insert it manually.
Thumbs up for the known issue.
No new context.
Either a sketch constraint or a extrude or transform etc.
I create a new feature in context but nothing changes.
here is my test document:https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f41f2af9004d128718f44f82/w/fcae7b6ae2fec7dc6c0060a6/e/98db86e87ddfc10938bb0b40
here is a webinar video on in-context. Should teach you everything you need to know.
before it wasn't there, like:
That video doesn't explain why. It doesn't tell about ''touch' any of the ghost parts with a feature.'
The help see https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/25254/#Comment_25254 is also hazy about this.
Thanks
In assembly - context menu: edit in context
Then in the Part make constraining something of the ‘ghosted’ part will bring up the missing menu items in the ‘context menu’.
(Hmmm. it's like the seven taps on software version to get developer options enabled on Android)
Can't have a button for 'edit context' if there is no context to edit.
So first step is to make a context. (Make sure the edited part is in the assembly if you are creating an entirely new part studio as we did with "printed part" in your document) Then you can edit to your heart's content.
Have a nice day.
