Why can I not edit sketches in older models?

[peterguilliatt]

Why can I not see sketches in older models? I created a new model a few days ago to see if it would allow me to edit the sketch, which it does. Older models simply show a blank page when I try and edit the underlying sketches.

Find a file attached. Thanks.

This file "FIN - Plain Box Interior Measurements v2.f3d" is the one which is having trouble.

This file "EndoscopeTest v1.f3d" is okay.

Hi @peterguilliatt,

I don't see any problem.

Your first sketch is empty. It's probably a mistake to finish it before sketching something.

After you use a sketch Fusion 360 turns the visibility Automatically OFF.
By clicking on the eye you can turn the visibility ON again.

I can see all bodies fine. I want to change the size of the box, but can't see the dimensions despite the sketch being visible. See attached picture 20231220_112801.JPG

Another model shown in picture 20231220_112848.JPG shows the dimensions visible.

As @Marco.Takx mentioned Sketch1 is empty and could be deleted. Only problem is you projected\referenced the origin from sketch1 into sketch2.

Here you can see If I delete sketch1 the only error is the lost projection.

See attached file where I've deleted the empty sketch and fixed the error.
