Selection Filter not working correctly

SW2009 SP1.0

While editing a sketch, I don't have access to many of theselection filters that I should have, and used to have in SW2007(skipped 2008). The only filters I can select while editing asketch are edge, axis, & sketch segments. All others are greyedout. Many times I need sketch points, dimensions, surface or solidbodies, faces, vertices, etc, while I'm in a sketch.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug? I can't find anydiscussion on this.
