Re: Make Sketch on Solid Surface
I didn't understand what you're trying to achieve. Could you try to explain it again? Your FreeCAD file would be nice too.

Re: Make Sketch on Solid Surface
I just trying to make some random object for practice after watch some tutorial video. first I try make a cube, after that I make new Sketch on one of the surface of the cube. when I try make a rectangle on the surface of the cube, point or dot on each corner of rectangel not show up, but the ractangle outside surface of the cube visible just fine like the photo.
this another example
in the example I try make a hole using pocket fuction. i can make a hole but i cannot use constraint fuction to place them where i want. for example i want to put circular on the middle of the surface, but since no point or dot i cannot use contraint to preciesly put circular on the middle surface of the cube. when i try make them outside the surface, they just like regular rectangular or circular.
I already seen some video tutorial FreeCAD 0.18, but they dont have issue like mine. so if anyone who know to fix the problem i really appreciate the help.

Re: Make Sketch on Solid Surface
I believe you are looking for "linking to external geometry". If so, use the icon in the Sketcher toolbar.

Re: Make Sketch on Solid Surface
Maybe you're looking from the "wrong" side and the cube is blocking your view. Take a look from the opposite site. If that works, set "Map Reversed" in the Data tab of the sketch to the other value (probably "true"). I'd have a look but you didn't provide an example file...

Re: Make Sketch on Solid Surface
The images are strange. Perhaps this is a graphics card / driver issue. Try the latest pre-release 0.19.
