Can't constrain rectangle to existing object

I created a simple mitered box based on a sketch plane at the bottom. Now, I need to create another sketch plane at the top, that is bound to the dimensions of the box, so that If I change the box length or depth, the sketch plane will adjust correctly. Even though I begin creating a rectangle at the corner of the box, and it shows “endpoint”, and drag the rectangle to the opposite corner (which also shows “endpoint”), the resulting rectangle does not indicate anything is coincident. Then, when I increase the length of the box, you can easily see that the sketch plane does not adjust.

How do I create a bound sketch plane?
I’m using the latest version of Shapr3D parametric beta.

@pearish in the current version of the beta it is not possible to create constraints between sketches, however you should be able to constraint the second sketch to the corners or edges of the side wall bodies.

“you should be able to constraint the second sketch to the corners or edges of the side wall bodies.”

That is exactly what I am trying to do. So, how do I do that?

@pearish I double checked and it is a bug that constraining to body edges does not work properly, we will fix it soon. In the meantime a workaround can be to draw the second rectangle from individual lines (not with the Rectangle sketch tool), that way is not affected by the bug.
