On a drawing I would like to show the part sketch in one view which has some layout information. This feature is easily done in other drawings. For some reason in one part while creating the drawing some show and hide categories are not included (Sketches and Drafting annotations). Any idea why this occurs and how to fix it? We are running NX 6.0 and using the master model method. Image attached of the two files and the selectables in Show and Hide.

chack the layers the sketch information is on and if that layer is visible in view.
 
The sketch which I'd like shown is on layer 10 and that layer is visible. The sketch can be seen in the individual part file but in the drawing file layer 10 is turned on but the sketch doesn't show up. The difference in the "show and hide" options between the two files makes me think there is an issue there.
 
Is the sketch included in the reference set you are using for the drawing?

I can't view your attached file because the ampersand in the file name is messing up the file retrieval.

 
If there are no items of type 'A' in your file, then type 'A' will not show up the the show/hide list. For example, I have a small assembly, the reference set for each part only contains the solid body of interest. Even though I have many sketches and datums in the part files, they don't show up in the list for the assembly file since there are none in the assembly file to show (unless I change a reference set of one of my components, or create one in the assembly file itself).

 
I spoke too soon after adjusting the reference set the other options showed up. Thanks cowski!
