Sketches automaticly switch to Visibility ON, if sketch is/was a shared sketch and you are using visibility ON/OFF on part - bug

[ReneRepina]

I am using Inventor 2020.3.4.

Sketches automaticly switch to Visibility ON, if sketch is/was a shared sketch and you are using visibility ON/OFF on part. Is this a bug?

How to simulate:

1. Create a part with 2 features (for example Face and a Hole). 2 features are added to see the difference between normal and shared sketch.
2. Put it in Assembly and try to hide and show the part (visibility ON/OFF). It works OK.
3. Put 1 of the features as Shared Sketch and Unshare (or not, it does the same). In my example, I will share sketch of Face.
4. Hide the visibility of that sketch.
5. Try to hide and show in Assembly on the part again and you will notice that Shared sketch gets show eventhough it was on Visibility OFF.
6. Even if you now unshare the sketch and hide it again, it will always get visibility ON, if visibility is changed on the part.

Images (before and after when changing visibility on part):

This is a bug and it is annoying when you hide parts to see something behind them and then you have to hide sketches also.

Nevermind, found a solution to this problem. It is on this link:

Quoted from @cwhetten:

"Check the visibility state of the sketches in the part files. To do this, open one of the parts in its own window. Don't just double-click the part in the assembly, because this will just open the part within the context of the assembly. Instead, right-click the part and select Open, or use the Open command and browse to the part.

If the sketches are visible in the part file itself, then you will see the behavior you have described. To keep the sketches invisible even when you toggle the visibility of the part in the assembly, you need to make sure the sketches are invisible in the part file. So, turn off the sketch visibility and save the part. This behavior is the same for work features as well (work planes, axes, and points).

Try this and post back with your results.

I have the same issue, and the "fix" works for stand-alone sketches, but not shared sketches.
