Make invisible sketch lines in drawing visible again

I am working on a drawing based on a 3D sketch used to create a sweep and have turned-off the visibility on some lines. How can I make some of these sketch lines visible again?

Right click on the drawing view... select "Show Hidden Edges".. Select the lines to want to turn back on again

If you select your  drawing view -> right mouse click -> select show hidden edges.

After this in your drawing view the edges that have been hidden will show highlighted. you can either select the lines that you want to include or you can right mouse click again -> show all.

Once you have included the lines you want to see right mouse click and select done.

Thanks for the suggestion - but this is not the solution - the line are sketch lines - NOT edges

Edit the sketch in which those lines are defined, select the ones that you want to show, and toggle the 'Sketch Only ' control:
