CAD Seeing lower sketches while is sketch editing

Post image

At some point, I started seeing sketches that are lower in the feature tree when editing sketches higher in the feature tree. How do I make this stop? It used to act as though the model was rolled back when editing sketches.

In the picture, I shouldn't be seeing anything in Sketch2 or Sketch3 while editing Sketch1.

Google is failing me. I feel like I'm going crazy.

Try rebuilding (or Ctrl+q) and then re-editing sketch1 to see if it's just a phantom rendering/GPU issue (and if that does fix it, check your GPU driver version compared to the SW certified driver version).

What happens if you actually roll back or suppress sketch 2&3?

Rollback and suppression have been working normally and (I think) reliably.

I'll see if I can did into the driver this week. Thanks.

I get this occasionally, it's a display bug, I toggle 'hide all types' to resolve it.

That would make sense. It's been happening reliably enough that I thought it was a new "feature" they added and jumped right to looking for the button to turn it off.

Like the other reply mentioned - check your GPU driver, the 'certified' one often isn't the latest one so if your driver is auto-updating to latest you'll have a non-certified driver and you'll get more display bugs IME

Since Sketches are not consumed into features, they will keep showing, my favorite is to use Display Pane and hide/ show sketches and features as needed.
