In the drawing, Find the sketch in the feature tree for the drawing view.
Right click on it and select Show.

  I tried it, but didn't get done. only different is after checked SHOW, gave a rectangle box(when you hightlight the name of sketch, refer to Pic.-1). if you hightlight the sketch, the sketch will be visible, refer to pic-2.
  
  if you need more infor about drawing, just let me know.
  
  Thanks for your advice,

    Did you try showing the sketch in the model feature tree as well, not just in the sketch?
    
    Also, while you are in your drawing, go up to VIEW and select SKETCHES.

Disappearing graphics entities are usually caused by mismatched or incompatible video cards and drivers.

Which ones are you using?

  I have experienced problems viewing sketches and it seems to have something to do with the order in which I selected show in the FMT and the View/sketches drop down. If I hide then show in the FMT it shows up. It may be a video card issue even though mine is OK with SW.

  My Video Card is NVIDIA Quadro FX Go 1400.
  
  what is FMT? is the order show in the FMT first, then View/Sketch?
  
  Thanks for your advices!

    gx c,
    
    FMT = Feature Manager Tree. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the order so I just hide the sketch and then show it again with Sketches selected in the View drop down list.

Which driver are you using with the Go 1400.
As far as I can find you should be running the 6.14.10.8430 driver.

  Just an FYI...
  I had a sketch problem last week that ended in a "DUH!" moment.
  I couldn't get my sketch to appear.
  I had opened the drawing an then RMB opened the part, Made sure the sketch was "Show".
  Closed the drawing and part.
  Opened the drawing again and I'll be damned if the sketch disappeared.
  I looked at the part and it was light weight!
  I had inadvertently selected the "Open Lightweight" switch in the Open dialogue box! Therefore every time I RMB opened the part it was opening in lightweight and the sketch was disappearing!
  Just a "learn from my mistake moment"
  Every switch counts!

yeh, I have sketch dissapearing issues in assemblies as well.
When I edit a sketch and say pick new entities or remove some or what ever, the sketch I am working on dissapears even though I am in the edit sketch mode.
What the heck is up with that. Was never an issue with 2007.
2008 is one of the worst I have used since strarting with SW in 2001
