Hi,
In SW2009 editing sketch opened a new clean view. In SW2011 there is a part visible (result of pevious fetures) sitting under a new sketch. This is annoying. Is there a way to get rid of this and work on a clean view as in SW2009?
The above image shows the issue - you may see a part, what is active (light blue) and two circles on the new sketch (dark blue). Damn hard to work this way on complex items...
Please, feedback!
Welcome to SW forums Abdulllah.
Make sure you have Instant 3D off. Just click the Instant 3d icon the feature tool bar to make sure it is off.

Hi,
Unfortunately, it seems "Instant 3D" feature has nothing to do with my issue.
All the items higher in the part tree are visible during sketching regardless "Instant 3D" button is switched on or off.
The only remedy is hiding items in the tree panel... Tedious !!!
Any idea ???
I'm not sure if I understood the need properly. Are you talking about the features or sketches which are bothering you? If you mean features/body, then you need to hide them but if you mean the sketches only, then you can set to hide them under View menu.
And as far as SW2009 is concerned, there too I never seen the features getting hidden by themselves on starting a new sketch. So can you be more explanatory in term of what exactly you need.
I'm also not sure of the exact need here, but maybe a section through the part just under where a new sketch needs to be would help to obscure previous features?
Abdulllah - I can't think of what you mean in 2009 - I don't know of any behaviour that hides previous features. Do you mean you are/were able to hide previously generated bodies, not features; these bodies having been created by not merging with previous ones perhaps?
Hmm,
Am I wrong ? - I really believed opening new sketch in SW2009 opened "clean" view (as if all previous enties in tree view were hiden)...
Strange...
Previous bodies were visible in a new sketch in SW2009 unless they had been specifically hidden.
