Sketch invisible

numanair — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 21:50:05 GMT

I have an existing sketch that I am trying to edit. It is part of a component. The component, sketches and sketch are all marked as visible. Only this one sketch remains invisible. It looks like it does in this issue, but it's not the same problem: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/design-validate-document/bug-sketches-invisibe/m-p/6289869

Here's the model. The problem sketch is sketch4 of the red component: http://a360.co/2hVdEly

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community!

I opened the design but, I'm not seeing Sketch 4 listed in the browser. All of the sketches appear to be visible when I toggle the visibility.

Do you have sketches enabled in the Object Visibility filter on the Navigation bar?

You may try uploading the attached F3D to see if it resolves the issue.

I hope this helps. I look forward to your reply.

Woops, I should have mentioned that it's suppressed in a group called logo near the end of the timeline.

You mean the one labeled "Sketch 5" ?

I have no problem toggling the visibility of any sketch in your file.

Maybe you can create a screencast and show the behavior.

Yes, off course you cannot see a suppressed sketch!

Ah ha! Got it! You need to expand the group in the timeline. Then right click on those features in the timeline and select unsuppress!

I hope that helps!

Even after unsuppressing it the sketch still does not appear. I've attached a screencast to demonstrate.

Okay thanks for that. I can reproduce the issue. The sketch appears to be in some odd state where the visibility status will not change. Even if you sketch new entities while editing the sketch, they will remain invisible.

I've logged a report with development to investigate the issue further. I or someone else will follow up here as soon as an update becomes available.

The reference ID for the report is FUS-29668.

Thank you for reporting this!

I think the fastest solution available may be to create a new sketch and forget about this one.

I had this same issue happen again with a different, newer document today. I had previously had the sketch suppressed and when I went to unsuppress it to edit it the same thing happend.

I am still encountering this issue quite regularly. Any update on it's status?

What in your workflow requires you to suppress a sketch ?

Re: Sketch invisible

numanair — Thu, 25 May 2017 18:48:27 GMT

I am usually using it to compare visual design choices. Suppressing the sketch automatically suppresses the dependent features so it is quite convenient to do so that way.

Doubt? It's evident in the file I first linked to. I've attached an archive of it in case that is different.

Sketch4 of Component3. It's the suppressed one.

This might be a bug as the sketch does not turn visible when unsurpassed.

However, if you update your questionable modeling methods then. predict you won't need to suppress anything.

@paul.clauss can you check this out ?

Re: Sketch invisible

numanair — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 23:47:57 GMT

Care to explain what is questionable about my methods?

My response was to @Anonymous. I had already solved your issue in previous response.

Hi @TrippyLighting

Thanks for posting. I found that if I went through the file, unsuppressed the suppressed features, and deleted the fillet feature in which references were lost, the sketch showed immediately. There may be a bug here, but I was unable to force it in a new design. I'll wait on logging anything (as this file works as expected with a little clean-up), but will keep an eye out for similar behavior in the future.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
