How do I show a cosmetic sketch feature in a drawing view? I added a sketched feature to a model that already had an existing drawing with several views. When I switched from the model to the drawing I expected to see the cosmetic feature displayed in the appropriate views, however, it is not visible. Usually people inquire about hiding cosmetic feature, how do I show/display this feature?

Did you check the layers status?

The layer in which your sketch is may be hidden?

To resolve this I've tried the following so far w/o success:

1. checked the layer status

2. created a new view

3. tried to show/hide the cosmetic feature from the model

4. tried to show the feature via "annotations"

5. investigated the view properties "display options"

6. erased everything from memory and reloaded the drawing & part

7. relaunched ProE

8. created a new drawing

What I did discover is that when the part is displayed in the default "iso" orientation the cosmetic feature is visible, however, if it is displayed in a planar view it is not.

I'm still looking for a solution, so if anyone can help I'll be very appreciative

I know that in 2000i, one could just hide the cosmetic feature and it would hide. I noticed that Creo 2.0 has totally messed up the simple classic dialog for this. You now have a lot things called Erase (which turns it off in the tree), Delete... which actually erases (hides again), and Remove... whatever that does. Someone at PTC is turning the basic computer literacy on its head by making such crude interpretations.

I had the same problem with sketches showing up. I hit so many buttons to get them to remain hidden, I forgot what I had to do to get there. I'm pretty sure I ended up taking care of the problem in the model. I'll see what I can do. What version are you using, David?
