Sketches are not visible anymore.

Post by leoheck »

Freecad is not showing Sketches anymore. They appear only in the Sketch Edition mode. This is hard, I cannot design anymore.
Do you know any workaround to set Sketch visibility back?

Are the lines white or blue when the sketch is open?

Is the surrounding body visible?
Try View -> Fit All.

drmacro, they are white lines, not construction lines.
chrisb, tried all zoom levels, multiple times, nothing has fixed it.

I noted that the issue was on a single body, then creating a new one fixed it.

I could save this Body and I am sharing it here to see if you can reproduce it.
