in-context editing

purpose of setting the origin or chosing a new defined mate in a context design?
So I use "in context design" a lot and it is a very powerful way to design something that works together with other parts. I have noticed that nothing much changes when you choose the origin or when you make a self defined mate as origin for your in context design. I followed the "in context design" course till about 50%…
Change world orientation of in-context part studio
A picture is worth 1,000 words, but two really gets the job explained: From this assembly, I use one of the mating connectors to create a new part studio in context. Note the orientation of the face I'm mating to (Front). Note the new part studio has its world coordinates rotated so that the assembly is now facing "up"…
Edit Assembly Connections
I need help navigating the Onshape UI... I have a situation where I had to change the length of an assembly member. Normally - in parametric CAD software - I would expect that the following assembly members would react to the change. Because I had defined the connections randomly, this assembly model did not react…
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?
