Changes in other component doesn't apply to other component.

Hi, this is very weird and I am sure that there must be reason why the app working this way but I have to know. It is huge obstacle.

 

First, I drew bunch other sketches and bodies including a sphere.

 

And then I started a new component. In this sketch, I projected the sphere to two of my sketches.

 

And then I realized that the sphere has to be moved little bit. At this point, I thought the projected sketches will updated accordingly. 

 

But it wasn't. Not just that, when I tried to edit the sketch, at moment, the sphere moved to previous position before I moved it. If I finish the sketch editing, the sphere moves again to where it should be. 

 

This behavior is very strange and not intuitive. But I am sure there must be a reason. And I have to know how to make this change applies to other component like it should be.

 

Please help.

You probably did a Body Move when you moved the sphere.  Check your timeline.  That Move feature is after the sketch, so does not affect the sketch.  Items in the timeline are executed in that order.  I'll record a screencast to illustrate.  Coming soon.

See the screencast below.  It illustrates how Move Body works with sketch projection.  In the second half, I show how to make it work like I suspect you want it to - you have to put the Move Body before the sketch.  Hope this helps

Thanks, Jeff. So I have to re-draw the sketch in this situation. I see.
