Feature request: Small add to UI
When one have selected some face and tries to create new sketch on it one can get error "You selected geometries which are not part of the active body. [...]". Could there be also option to make body to which geometry belongs active and then continue with operation?

Possibly. But only if you have just one body in the design.
If there are multiple, sudden change of active body is probably undesirable.

This could be a 3-choice option :
- Create a shapebinder in the currently active body
- Switch active body to the one containing the selected geometry
- Cancel
Re: Feature request: Small add to UI
If there is one body only then this error is kinda impossible to get...
And of course i mean it as an additional option to that three which you get now - you need to deliberately use it. And then it is absolutely desired to change active body.
Actually six: (First three and 'cancel' are currently available)
- Make independent copy (recommended)
- Make dependent copy
- Create crossreference
- Create shapebinder in the currently active body
- Switch active body to selected geometry
- Cancel
