mark feature - it is there but not visible

Hi chaps,

the marking on sheetmetal surfaces are not visible anymore, looks like it happens after the september update for inventor 2025.

When the feature is selected in the modelbrowser you see the outlines highlight (see example image).

Yes i checked the object visibility of the part. when i export the flatpattern DXF it is there so that is not the problem.

I can put the corresponding sketch on visible state, but in modeling a twin-model you would always like to have a correct representation all features.

any ideas what is happening ?

Regards Harold

Hi Harold,

Try changing the display style to Shaded with Visible Edges.

Many thanks!

Thanks Johnson,

thank you for your post. Switching to "shaded with visible edges" did not do the trick in this case; But you pointed in the right direction ::

It was the appearance setting (Inventor options>> Display tab> Appearance section) that was set to "use document settings", your advice did appearantly not work in the scope of the proposes visual style.
