Sketch relations unavailable
Sketch relations unavailable
(OP)
Hi, I'm trying to create two almost identical sketches on intersecting planes and I'd like to add a lot of equal length relations, but sometimes the relation options don't show up in the PropertyManager. I've attached an example of the problem. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?. I know I could link dimensions instead but relations would be much more convenient.

Seems like a bug to me.

why, becouse if you choose a perpendicular plane, then the sketch is point in this plane. look attach pic.

Sometimes when I'm trying to create a relation to an item (profile edge, etc.) and Solidworks doesn't want to offer any sketch relations, I'll use "convert entities" to convert the item into sketch geometry in the current sketch, then turn it into construction geometry with the appropriate check box in the property manager and apply my relations to it.

What ShaggyPE suggested only helps some of the time. I tried a 3D sketch, but the Up to Vertex option I need wasn't available when extruding. Ended up linking dimensions where I couldn't add relations.
