Cannot edit KEs after switching to Simplified Rep

Hello everyone,

after I exclude the display of individual components using the Simplified Representation function, I can no longer edit KEs until I close and reopen the session. How can I, for example, edit sketches again?

It happens when I exclude a Copy-Geom.

Q1: No.
Q2: No.
Q3: I can, but I found the problem.

 

I can edit sketches or extrusions after changing the Simplified REP to Master.

Sorry, but I don't know what a "KE" is. Is it an abbreviation in German for something?
