Hi All,
I need to insert a dwg of the pcb layout into my part. Both the top and bottom layout came in as sketches, which are visible at the same time. This is creating a mess because the board is pretty dense. Is there another option to import dxf/dwg so that you will see only the top or bottom depending on orientation? I've tried idf, and that's not an acceptable option either.
Thanks for any help in advance.

When you import the dxf/dwg, tick on the "Import each layer to a new sketch" option
Then you can hide the layers you don't want to see by hiding that sketch. Also you can change the colour of each sketch to the same as used in your PCB software.
Sorry just re read your post, no way to hide sketches on other side of PCB if that's what you mean. I think someone has created an ER for sketches to be hidden by solid bodies.
Open the dwg in a part mode, not drawing, then make a block of the pcb layout and use that as your pcb location..
