In context editing with transparent view.

I have an assembly with one plate overlaying another.  I need to sketch holes in the overlaying plate to match holes in the underlying plate.  Edit in context is the obvious tool but I need see the matching holes.  I know I have done this in the past but now the hidden features stay hidden. 

What does work (but is like playing "Battleship") is to place points randomly on the sketch and then hunt for the hidden background holes with the concentric tool.  I one stumbles into a hidden hole, it shows up so the point can be centered on it.  There has to be a better way.  What am I missing?

    This sounds like graphics behaves differently for you. Could you try a different browser? Please share the document and a picture of what you are trying to do.

    Now I'm puzzled.  The thing worked as expected this morning.
