Warning Object that you are about to edit is not visible !!!!!!!!!

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:42:09 GMT

Trying to do a 3 point line arc while in edit form mode . Watching a youtube tutorial and following instructs exactly but will not work >

It says ""Warning Object that you are about to edit is not visible '

Question is if object is not visible and i am looking at said object then what object is it that is not visible .

Is there a easy way to find the object in question .

Thanks for any help

Solved problem , went down browser list toggling on and off individual components until a component in background became visible

There are two things that may help you in this scenario.

One is the Select Other tool. If you linger on the right click for just a moment, you will get a list of items located your cursor:

sketches
constraints
sketch profiles
faces
edges
bodies
components
etc...

This is important because it can help you to select the correct thing in the workspace, looks can be deceiving! You don't want to select a face when you mean to select the whole body .. or the component. This will save you a trip to the selection filter.

Next, if you right click there is usually an option to Find in Browser or Find in Timeline (depends on the selection) that can get you to locate the item in the browser.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
