How do you turn off the model view that appears when in sketch mode?

I thought I posted this yesterday.
When you go to modify a sketch, changing dims etc..., a yellow model of the part appears temporarily. The thing is, my model is so complicated, it is really taking forever just to add dims or change my sketch. Is there any way to turn this option off? This didnt exist in 2007, so Im not sure if it existed before 2010. Sometimes its nice to see the model in sketch mode, but it is really bogging me down in this case.....thanks

Turn off Instant 3D. That will remove the ghost image. instant 3-D was added in 2008 if my memory serves me.

That did it Dekker. Thanks for the quick reponse. [thumbsup]
 
Or use Alt+i Shortcut key for Instant3d. I typically place Instant3d icon on the top icon bar next to SW logo on the left or on my shortcut bar so I can always see if it's on or off and easily enable disable it without having to show the Features Tab.
