Refference sets and PMI issue... NX10/TC10

I have part with PMI, notes and dimensions and sketch to PMI dimensions.
Reference sets are in default status, not edited in any way.
Part is inside assembly, showing model ref.set.
All PMI are visible.
But in drawing file (master model concept), both for part and assembly, sketch from PMI dimensions are not visible in model ref.set. To show dimensions in views I have to change ref.set to Entire Part, or to add sketch to PMI dimensions to model ref.set.
Is it possible to have sketch to PMI dimensions to work same way like other PMI without making changes to ref.sets?

Yes, I want to inherit sketch-to-PMI dimensions in drawing. I need just some of dimensions to automate master models drawings. So no need for inherit particular all from sketch in to view, then delete what I do not need. This way key dimensions can be inherited almost automatically, with minimal editing.

Is it possible?

I know about this, I use it. Issue is, like i stated in previous post, that it inherit all dimensions from selected sketch and just for selected views, and I need only key dimensions. I have sketches with 15-20 dimensions, but I need only 3-4 of them on drawing, so when I inherit dimensions from slected sketch(s) in selected view(s) i have to delete dimensions I do not want. If it is possibl to make sketch-toPMI dimensions visible, then I can see just wanted dimensions in all views (filtered by PMI placemnt planes) with very little effort. And I can easy reuse them in assembly drawings (which is even more functional from my perspective)
