sketch visibility control

How can you

? See demo video

Select sketches in Browser.  Right click.  Select Show/Hide.  For some reason "V" doesn't work.

Going through each sketch is quite tedious, especially if there were more components. I am looking for something quicker. Any ideas?

Use a selection set.  Update it whenever you create a new sketch.

Thanks. The sketches are in xrefs. I don’t think selection sets would make sense

I know the example is small but imagine this is a larger assembly.

My first gut reaction was to only select "sketches" in the selection filter.

Unfortunately as in some other areas, that isn't included in the list of things we can select. It does include an item I don't really know what that is. What is a "Sketch surface" ?

I put this as a feature enhancement request into the Fusion Slack channel!

"V" does not work, because we can only window select items i a sketch, but not the entire sketch as an item.

That's what I do sometimes, but If you use a lot of X-Refs then that can become unmanageable quickly as you'll have to manually add each sketch in each instance of an X-Ref.
