Sketches not available to edit in Drawing

Hello All, 

 

I have an assembly drawing that I have been sketching explosion lines on. The drawing has many sheets and has taken me a few days to complete. Oddly the first few sheets have lost the ability to edit the sketches on them. There is no "sketches" folder in the tree for these sheets. If I create a new sketch on one of these sheets the folder appears with the new sketch in, but none of the old ones are there. I can see the old sketches but I want to edit them. The more recent sheets I have made have the sketches still available to edit.

Anyone else encountered this problem?

 

I cannot share the file. 

 

Cheers,

Create a sample file and share it.

It doesn't replicate itself in a new drawing.

Hi,

Then you´re in a comparable situation to someone who does not open his mouth at the dentist.

I understand why people want to see the files, I really do. It's much easier to click about and try multiple solutions yourself then give an answer. It is just very difficult for me to do this as the majority of my questions come about from using fusion at work, and it doesn't matter whether the file in question is some ground breaking IP sensitive time machine or if its a plain shaft with a cross drilling, I cannot share the file on an online forum, unless the internet agrees to sign an NDA. When I can I try to make "dummy" parts to show my issue as I know the first thing I will be asked is to share the model, but this is not always possible, as in this case. Screen casting is another solution but again, questionable whether I should be doing this with my work files. The next best thing is to explain the issue as best I can using words, and a lot of the time the problems can be pretty well defined using words. It very much seems on here that its share your file or GTFO. 

 

I'm really not trying to be difficult and "refuse to open my mouth at the dentist" but I am more than capable of trying out suggestions on my fusion, unlike my inability to perform my own dental work. 

 

I just wanted to know whether others have seen this issue, before I waste someone's time at Autodesk reporting a bug that turns out to be a common issue. Isn't that what the forum is for?

The statement is simply disrespectful.
It ignores the fact that in order to answer a question properly, the constructive situation of the questioner often has to be recreated first.

If you are at home in technical disciplines, you should know that this is not the case.
Technical communication that relies only on words is doomed to failure.

Would you say it is more or less disrespectful than implying to someone they are refusing to open their mouth at the dentist? 

 

My career is clearly doomed

 

Thank you for your help

The missing sketches in the tree had moved into a different sheet's tree but still displayed the sketch in the original sheet. Doesn't appear to be a way to move them back as I don't think they should of been able to move across sheets in the first place. 

If anyone else encounters this problem the work around I used is to find the tree where the sketch has moved to and copy it. Then paste it back into the original sheet and delete the old sketch.
