Drawings doesn't show sketches made in custom features

I'm wondering what sketch property is being used by the drawing to query the sketches and exclude the sketches created by custom features. I created a custom feature to produce a sketch for use in Drawing and am unable to find a way to get it into the Drawing. I'm guessing there is a sketch property that is set to a different value for sketches created by custom features. What is that sketch property and can I change it so my sketch is visible to the Drawing?

Unfortunately no.

Your feature could use opExtractWires to at least make curves (like the Composite Curve feature), and if there are more than one curve, you could use opCreateCompositePart to make them a single composite part you can add to the drawing. Obviously this would be a bit of a workaround.

Drawings will only recognise actual sketches created using the sketch feature. This is because a custom feature can create geometry other than sketches and drawings would not know what to do with it.

Is there a way to change a property on the sketch in featurescript so that the drawing can use it?
