Sketch dependency across components

Hey there,

I'm kinda stumped about how to properly project geometry of one component into the scetch of another.

Originally I'm trying to have a spline be "pinned" on a different component on each side. I followed some tutorials on this and it's just not working. I managed to narrow my problem down to the following:

I have some body in component 1

I Create a sketch in component 2 by selectig a face on the body and project the body into the sketch.

The sketch shows the projected line / geometry and I am able to integrate it fine.

I move the body and the sketch stays put

If I change the geometry of the first body in its own original sketch, the new scetch changes accordingly.

How do I get my new sketch to "stick" to the first Body/Component? Is it possible to have my projected geometry and dependencies follow its original Component?

if you are moving the body in Component1 after the sketch has been created in Component2, that move takes place in the timeline after the sketch is established. You have to roll back before the sketch and insert the body move. I'll create a little screencast to illustrate.
