How to add the "create feature" option back to the sketch context menu

In 2020, it looks like the right-click context menu no longer includes the "create feature" selection, in the sketch environment. How can I add it back to the context menu? I looked at the customize options for the sketch environment, but didn't see it there. I must be overlooking something somewhere.

Hi! It was removed from the context menu in 2020. These commands are also available on the Ribbon. Also, you no longer need to have a sketch to start some of the sketch-based commands like Extrude, Revolve, and Sweep. I will work with the project team to understand the reason of the removal better.

Many thanks!

So.....the answer is "No, there's no way to do that"? Log my formal complaint about removal of yet another useful feature in favor of some unknown improvement.

 

I'd like to hear the reason behind why it was removed. While they're at it, can they explain why the "Place feature" remains in the context menu when in the sketch mode? I don't know about other users, but I know I use that command exactly zero times in sketch mode, for as long as I've used Inventor.

Hi! It is a bug. The context menu was incorrectly consolidated for Part and Assembly environments. The "Create Feature" shortcuts were incorrectly removed since some of the items may not apply to Assembly. I am very sorry this is a mistake. It was not removed deliberately. We are working on a solution targeting 2020.1 update.

Many thanks!
