Sketch reported as Form in timeline

[Anonymous]

I have a file here that a friend made, and the first Sketch is being reported as a Form in timeline. Bizarre.

Hi Luke,

That will happen when a sketch is created within the Sculpt workspace after the user clicked 'Create Form'. Currently in Fusion 360, everything done between 'Create Form' and 'Finish Form' is essentially flattened into a single Form feature in the timeline. That's why the sketch does not have its own feature anywhere in the timeline.

Does that help?

It does make sense. Maybe there is a better way? (add sketch feature to timeline before the sculpt feature?)Thank you.

Yeah, we have discussed this (no sketches inside of a form feature).  It gets a bit complicated in the timeline surgery details, and we have an issue with converting Direct Modeling designs to parametric, but it is definitely something we have discussed in the past.  Can't promise any short-term changes, but it's a reasonable request.
