Hi,
assuming that the cutout should be of type 'Create Assmbly features'
then, after selecting the plane and entering sketch mode you have
the follwoing choices:
- include edges with the 'Include' function (located on toolbar)
and then continue as usual
- dimension you sketch to edges of the underlying part. To do
that make sure the option 'Peer edge locate' is activated
You'll find it within Main bar it's the third icon left of the
toggle switch for 'Grid'
When this is activated you can dimension to the part's edges
