Is there a way to hide other sketches when you're editing a single sketch?
Turn the visibility off.
Have you tried this:
RMB in the sketch that you want to turn off the visibility!

You can also try to turn off the visibility of all sketches in the tab View > Visibility > 2D Sketches, or simply pressing F10:

Hi Binga,
It's very likely the View > Visibility filter is what is causing the issue. I typically do not recommend using this tool (much at all, but particularly at the part level).
Right-clicking and turning off the Visibility should solve the issue.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

All of the replies so far are either to individually deselect "visibility" from each sketch or to press F10.
If I have lots of sketches It is very tedious to deselect the visibility of each one individually. Also, F10 only works when you're not in a sketch environment.
Is there some tool to only show the sketch you're working on?
Hi amarciniakTF6LQ,
It's a case of "pay me now, or may me later".
If you didn't right click and turn off the sketches when you were done with them, you will have this issue.
Using the View filter filters them, but as you've seen other tools toggle the filter off, and they all come back on.
To fix the issue you find yourself in at that moment, you can create an illogic rule and paste in this code and run it, and it will go through and turn off each sketch (as if you right clicked them).
In the future, do yourself a favor and right click the sketches and turn them off when you're done. 
I hope this helps.

ok the snarky remarks like "do yourself a favor and turn off the sketch when your done doesn't help" this guy asked a legitimate question .... it's irritating that when one is in a sketch one would need to leave that environment to filter out 2d sketches which, btw also turns off the visibility of the sketch one wants to see. WTF are you all unable to see this guys issue and the reason it's annoying or do you just like to say **** like that to piss people off? it's like going to the doctor and telling him something hurts when you do a particular thing and the doctor responding with "don't do that then" would that be the type of advice you want from an expert?

Tools>Application Options>Sketch tab unselect the Autoproject options (except for the part origin - I leave that one on).

Hi @PhetaDesignLink ,
Welcome to the forum!
I assure you my remarks were not intended to be "snarky", and I'm sorry that you interpreted them that way, but judging from the tone of your reply I can't help thinking that you might be projecting a bit.
Sorry that my past attempts to assist another was unsatisfactory, maybe I'll get lucky and do better next time. (<--- see that right there is a bit snarky )
Again, welcome to the forum,
Curtis

Hi Phillip,
Based on your reply, you seem to have a lot of complaints about Inventor. For this particular issue, I think I know where the problem is. It indeed tricky to get the desirable behavior here. A few things. When you edit a sketch, Inventor rolls back the model to when the sketch was created. So, any dependent sketches and features should be invisible (or it will be a bug). But, parent sketches may be visible depending on how the parent sketches are leveraged.
If the editing sketch has direct or indirect dependency on the parent sketches, such parent sketches will be visible to show the source. As you can see, not all sketches can be made invisible on you edit a sketch. Certainly, there might be bugs leading to confusing behaviors. I am not aware of an option or a rule to change these behaviors.
BTW, please avoid typing all-cap letters in your posting. It looks as if you are yelling at people. Also, the forum runs on mutual respect. It goes both ways. We are here to help resolve some of your Inventor issues, not your personal issues.
Many thanks!
