Summary0002514: Links between sketches are not allowed within one part and between parts when sketch is not in body
DescriptionLinks between sketches are not allowed within one part and between parts when sketch is not in body.
Sketches outside bodies can be useful in a ton of situations, mostly outside of PartDesign workbench.
Steps To Reproduce1. In sketcher workbench, make a new sketch, draw rectangle, close.
2. Deselect the new sketch, and create a new free-standing sketch
3. try to link an edge.
Says "Not allowed". Expected: "Hold Ctrl to allow any links".
4. PartDesign workbench, create a new
5. Move sketches into Part (by dragging them in tree view).
6. Try to link from one sketch to other.
"Not allowed" again. Expected: "Hold Ctrl to allow any links".
7. Create a new body, and create a sketch there (from within PartDesign)
8. Try to link to Sketch's edge. Now, finally, I see something like "hold Ctrl to allow", and it's linked.

The reason for this behavior is the legacy workflow: If a sketch is not inside a Part/Body it was assumed the workflow is the pre 0.17 one and there the links were not allowed for good reason. This can be prevented if we know that we have a new post 0.16 file. This way it should be ensured that in PArtDesign cross linking works only with bodies but that it works everywhere else as wished.
