Get Model Sketches Inactive

[moretti999]

In my section view, Get Model Sketches is inactive (greyed out; see attached).

It was OK up until recently, but now it would not show any sketches no matter what I try to do.

I would hate to recreate the view again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Thats normal I believe once they are "gotten" they are "gotten" 

If you have turned off the visibility of parts of a sketch you can go back to that sketch and uncheck Include then check it again and the sketch entities  should come back

Thanks for reply.

That's the problem - I did not do anything with the top assy and the sketches are there.

I have noticed this before, but today was the last straw.

I think it's AD glitch.

If you don't mind, and it is not related as well - do you have the same behavior when you try to change the part section participation? When I try to select them with the crossing window, the option is not available (greyed out), but when I pick them piece by piece, I can do it. It pains me both physically and mentally (why?).

Thanks in advance.

AIP 2012 - Autodesk come on!.....you should be able to uncheck the get model sketches check box but for some reason only autodesk can explain you can't uncheck it! because it grayed out etc...

However if you have run out of solutions....this might help....go to your model select the part with the sketch in it you require, suppress it, save part/assembly, go to drawing save it, go back to assembly unsuppress part, save part/assembly, go back to drawing now the part should show up in browser with no 'get model sketches' so recheck the check box...you lose some drawing data with this but it easier then other solutions like total redraw etc.

This worked for me!
