Many thanks. Since most of the thinks I clicked showed changes right away, I was assuming this is the behaviour in general. Now I know what to try if no changes appear. Thanks.

You are using Sketcher_CarbonCopy for a lot a bodies.
I would draw a master sketch outside of any body and refere to it via PartDesign_SubShapeBinder selecting the lines needed. No more complex sketch in each body. But this master sketch will need to be kept untouched until the last moment.
