Try: PartDesign_ShapeBinder#Example.

A similar solution can be achieved with PartDesign_SubShapeBinder.

Please explain where you get stuck, and post your model. Note that when using a PartDesign_SubShapeBinder step 11 must be skipped but the rest of the procedure should be the same.

In attachemnt there is model with parts. I want to do a hole (or pad in shape of hole) in part withou it (projected from part with hole):

I have error :
Cannot use this command as there is no solid to subtract from.
Ensure that the body contains a feature before attempting a subtractive command.

You have to modify, the individual parts then update them in the assembly.

The error, from before is because there is only a sketch in the body (no solid.)

But how to modify indyvidual part? The binder and the new Body with sketch are separated from parts.

A2Plus can't do in context editing AFAIK, you have to edit the component separately in it's original file.
