I was working with a part file. After finishing I saved it. Then I need to draw another one. But the second one is similar with the first. So, I made "save as" the first file and rename it. Then I work on the second file. I dragged some tree to hide and drew new. After finishing the second file, I assemble first and second one, everything was fine. But suddenly, most of my drawing of the second part from the tree section got faded, which I can't turned back on. Features and sketches all are present but not visible. What should I do?

Please Help!!

Faded = Suppressed in most cases. Right click on features and select unsuppress.

Oh, Thanks. It was easy. I was panicked. Could you tell me why it would happen automatically?

If you suppress something which is a parent of children, all children will be suppressed as well.

Example: An extrude creates a body. One face of that body is used as sketch for later feature. If the extrude isn't there, then neither are any subsequent features that require the first thing. These are dependencies.

Conversely, unsuppressing something with suppressed parents will also unsuppress those parents.
