Thanks. Its not working. When I go back to edit sketch the model becomes dim and it stays on the screen. I tried show/hide in the tree but its not going anywhere.
 
From your description it sounds like you are trying to edit the sketch of a part from inside an assembly. Are you in the part file or the assembly file?
 
Hi Jboggs , I created the model on part file.from a circle in top plane I created extruded boss feature and in the front plane I created the sketch and revolved cut. Now when in the tree I click edit sketch ...body becomes light yellow dim. I can edit the sketch. but that body is annoying I wanted to have only the sketch I want to edit on the screen.
 
Hi, davinder8244:

You can hide "body" when you edit a sketch. But you won't be able to reference the body if it is hidden. I won't call that an annoying as it is there for you to reference.

Best regards,

Alex

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean transparent, then as jboggs stated, it sounds like you are in an assy, because that's the only time that should happen.

Can you post a screen capture of what you are seeing ... including the feature manager.

What are your system specs? Using a non-approved graphics or driver card could cause that sort of graphic anomaly.
 
Try to uncheck the "Instant 3D" button while in Sketch Mode. It'll be located on the features toolbar.
 
Thanks Guys and SWKennedy it was Instant 3D on. Thanks again
