There's currently a restriction where a shared sketch cannot be made Adaptive (and an Adaptive sketch cannot be shared).
This has been asked about and discussed many times before (just search the General Discussion area for "adaptive shared sketch"), and while it's possible to conceive of some situations where a shared adaptive sketch could result in relationship conflicts at the Assembly level (conflicting constraints applied to the same geometry of an adaptive sketch), I do not believe it is possible for this to result in any kind of cyclical dependency or other dangerous result.
Along with implementing this, it's also necessary to allow making only a sketch Adaptive and not any of its consuming features. Currently this is not possible and leads to undesirable results. For example, if we only want a sketch to be adaptive, we are forced to also make its consuming Extrusion adaptive--but now the length of that extrusion is free to be adapted even if we don't want it to. Leaving the extrusion un-adaptive, and adapting the sketch by constraining directly to it in the assembly (which we can already do) would be much more robust.
Extending that logic, we should also be able to make a feature Adaptive without making its consumed sketch Adaptive. This way we can, for example, adapt an extrusion's length without inadvertently adapting its sketched profile.
Basically, the adaptivity of a sketch and its consuming feature(s) should be independent.
Correction: I was wrong in saying that we cannot independently make a Sketch and its consuming feature Adaptive. This can be accomplished by right-clicking on the consuming feature and selecting "Properties", and then we can check which inputs to make Adaptive (Sketch, Parameters, or From/To Planes).
However, this is un-intuitive, convoluted, time-consuming, and unnecessary. We should simply be able to right-click on the Feature OR sketch and say "Adaptive" and control the Adaptivity directly from those features themselves. If I make the consuming Feature adaptive, only its Parameters are adaptive. If I make the Sketch adaptive, the Sketch is adaptive. If I make the from or to planes for the Extrusion adaptive, those planes are adaptive. Simple as that. I should not have to control these from the consuming feature's "Properties" box.
