Disappearing sketches - unable to use/convert
Caspar
Member Posts: 17 ✭✭
I've been happily showing/hiding features and 'using/converting' elements from sketches on other planes.
Occasionally, however, when I start a new / edit an existing sketch, the other existing sketches disappear.
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but I can't identify what the common factor is.
If I select 'final' , the other sketches are shown but can't be selected to 'use/convert'.
What are the common reasons for this?
Many thanks.

The features in the list down the left are time dependent. You cannot reference a feature later than the one you are editing. Try reordering your features.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI6
