Differentiating sketched entity in inventor drawings?

[Anonymous]

All,

Is there a way to find / differentiate the sketched entity in  inventor drawing environment?

Can you give a bit more information ... or an example of what you're hoping to do?

Hi Nagaraj,

If I understood your request correctly, you want to be able to select or not select just the sketch related geometry in drawing. You can do that by editing selection filter. Go to the top of Inventor window and find the selection priority button (green cube by default). Click it and click "Edit Select Filters" command. There you can change the scope of selection by changing the filters.

Many thanks!

Thank you for the reply, I will reiterate my request " In the Inventor drawing, we made a sketch to show the partial section, While doing that missed to constrain the sketch with the model entity. While moved the view, the sketch remains as it is which results wrong representation of drawing"
To avoid such situations, is it possible to identify the sketched entity in the drawing as a different color or any other way?
Regards,
Nagaraj

Hi! I got the issue now. Yes, you can simply change the default Layer for Sketch Geometry. In a drawing, go to Annotate tab -> find "Edit Layer" on the far right -> Sketch Geometry -> change the Layer color.

Please note that the change you make only applies to the particular drawing. If you want all drawings behave this way, you will need to make Styles Library writable and save the change to the Library.

Many thanks!
