Sketch1 is the outside profile for a plate. From it I create Extrusion1 and constrain it in an assembly. If I later decide that a cutout is needed in the center of the plate, I edit sketch1 to show it. But when I'm done, I can't "unselect" my original profile and extrude the new shape. The new geometry in sketch1 is hidden by the previous body and I can't unselect that profile.
So I have to delete extrusion1 and start over. When I return to my assembly I have to redo the constraints that were placed relative to extrusion1.

Why not just do it the way they would in the shop.
Sketch-1 is your main plate shape, then edit the IPT and add a second sketch on
the top for your cut-out. This way your plate will retain the
constraints.
Try to do your modeling following the same steps as
the shop floor will follow.
Sketch1

it in an assembly. If I later decide that a cutout is needed in the center of
the plate, I edit sketch1 to show it. But when I'm done, I can't "unselect" my
original profile and extrude the new shape. The new geometry in sketch1 is

delete extrusion1 and start over. When I return to my assembly I have to redo
the constraints that were placed relative to extrusion1. Any help appreciated.
