Extrude from linked sketch does not constrain to linked solid. (by wolfv)
This example make sense only if you open the attached .slvs files.
butt_joint_fail.slvs:
g003-tgs and g004-2x4-sketch are both linked from external files.
g005-extrude is extruded from g004-2x4-sketch.
Constraining any part of g003-tgs to the side of g005-extrude gets an error.
- the following constraints are unsatisfied.
- the following constraints are incompatible.
Is this a bug?
Constraining g003-tgs to the face opposite from g004-2x4-sketch works, but that's not what I need.
butt_joint_work-a-round.slvs:
The work-a-round is to create the sketch g002-sketch-in-plane in the file (rather than linking from g004-2x4-sketch external file).

The problem is that constraints can modify entities (items) only from the current group. So if you try to add constraints that would have to move "g003-tgs" they will fail - and this is normal.
But if the constraint can be fulfilled by modifying only "g005-extrude" if will succeed. See the attached screen shot for such an example. It constrains one point from the "top" of "g005-extrude" to be in the highlighted plane of "g003-tgs".

The assembly tutorial (https://solvespace.com/box.pl) has some advice related to what you are (probably) trying to do.

Thank you ruevs.
Thanks to your explanation, it now all makes sense.
