workpoints in drawing views.....

bibleje — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 13:35:05 GMT

Good morning all. I am wanting to display a sheet metal sketch that shows all the workpoints that I placed on the sketch to develop it in a drawing view. When i place the view, I see the geometry of the sketch but not the workpoints. Anyone have a suggestion? i will include some clips of what is in Inventor and where I'd like to place it in the drawing. I am using IV2023.

Let me clarify, I used the Point Command in the sketch in order to make the profile. Just to be clear. I don't think I would see those in my browser tree.

Thank you,

John E. Bible

Have you tried to select them in the drawing?

(Maybe they are there just not big "pluses" like in the model.)

By default work geometry is not shown in drawing views. You can just expand the browser until you find the work points and then select and right click on them and choose Include. Then they will be available in your drawing view.

I understand now, there is no way to show sketch points in a drawing. You will have to create work points tied to the sketch points if you want to show them. Here is a post dealing with the same thing.
