How can i turn off the model from highlighting when i mouse over it? If i have sketch dimensions on a model face but mouse over the model, and not the sketch dimension on the model, it turns white blocking any visibility of the sketch.
Not moused over:
Moused over:
The highlighting of faces when you mouse over is a core function in Fusion 360 and I doubt if there is a way to turn it off, nor do you really want to. I suggest a different workflow. It is probably a rare occasion when you have this situation so why not simply touch on the Body visibility icon and turn the body off temporarily to see your sketch or simply rotate the view to the sketch side. The sketch can be viewed from either side of the plane, the text is the same.

I do not understand what you are saying. If the body is turned off, in the Browser, it cannot interfere with viewing an underlying sketch as you can see in my Screencast. If you are doing something else, please record your own Screencast to show your issue better.

All bodies off. Only thing visible is the three rectangles around the center hole. Yet the model face still highlights when moused over.
Of course it is if you hover over the Browser at any level. Doing this is the same thing as hovering over the body or component in the design workspace. Turn off the visibility of the body that is hiding your sketch and work on it in the design workspace, do not hover over anything in the browser.
If you want no highlighting if you hover over a model body or component as well as when you hover over the body or component in the Browser, you are out of luck!

Im NOT mousing over anything in the browser. This is ALL in the work space.
Here I have only the one sketch visible.
I have shown you, in a Screencast, that if the body is turned off, it is not visible in the design workspace. Send me a Screencast showing your process, not a screen capture, as I need to see what you are actually doing.

Your Screencast shows your problem. You have "Auto Project Geometry on Active Sketch Plane" in your Preferences turn on. So when you created the small rectangle sketches, on the back face, the outside edge of the circle was projected and created a Profile. You have "Show Projected Geometries", on your Sketch Palette, unchecked and have "Show Profile" checked so that is what you are seeing as you pass over the body area in the design workspace, the profile of the complete circle which seems to you is the body showing up. My Screencast will try and explain it better.

Hello! Have you seen the post by @jhackney1972 from October 11, 2021 with the screencast? Could this be happening for you as well?
