I think it is odd that If a sketch is missing its sketch plane reference, you need to drill down all the way to edit sketch plane to find that out. I spend a lot of time clicking around - but if there were an icon or some other flag that I could see to tell me that the issue with the feature is the sketch plane, life would be easier...
Is there a good trick, or do we need an ER? Thanks!

Hi Nathan,
It should in fact give a warning and if it does not, it may be a bug so you should submit it to your VAR. Here is an image of a simple case I just created by sketching on a face, then rolling back, cutting the face off and then rolling forward.
I hope this helps,
Jim
Jim - this is what I was looking for - a quicker way to learn what the problem is. A simple mouse-over is all I need - thanks!
The problem is that with Dynamic Reference Viewer turned on, the Tip that pops up on mouse-over only displays for a few milliseconds... Not enough time for my aging eyes and brain to catch, I really like the DRV (the blue arrows that point to the parents of the feature) and use it regularly.
I guess I have to choose which I like better.
Thanks again...

Hi Nate,
That is something we should look into fixing. The tooltip shouldn't go away so quickly.
However, one other way you can get to error/warning messages is to right click on the item that has the error/warning and select What's Wrong from the context menu.
I hope this helps,
Jim
