Content Sensitive Menu Enhancement - Add Ability to Toggle the Underlying Sketch

Content Sensitive Menu Enhancement - Add Ability to Toggle the Underlying Sketch

The mini-toolbar for selection of a new sketch and modification of an existing feature is really handy to avoid going to the browser every time.  One of the common reasons I still go there is to turn on the Visibility of a Sketch that I want to reuse again and again for new features (Shared Sketch).

 

It would be handy if the menu also added this ability as in the mockup image shown for Sketch Visibility.

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2017.3. When selecting a feature within the graphics area (or browser entry), its associated sketch visibility (or shared state) can be toggled via a contextual toggle. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.

 

It should be noted that selecting sketch geometry (a single line for example) with the sketch feature priority selection filter enabled will not expose this new contextual option. Toggling visibility can now be executed from the feature consuming the sketch as well as the sketch browser entry itself.
