Hi,
it's possible to increase sketch entities thickness for more comprehensive visualization ?
I attach an image to better understand.

Thank you...

There are a couple of things that you could try, but they're not Sketch specific. That is, they will effect the display of all curves.

First you can go to...

Preferences -> Object...

...and set the Width for all the various curves Types (Lines, Arc, Conic, Spline) to 'Thick Width' (note that this will only effect new curves being created). Of course, before you will actually see the 'Width' of the curves you will need to go to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Line

...and toggle ON the 'Show Widths' option. You should also toggle ON the 'Wireframe Contrast' option as well. Another thing that can help is to go to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Visual

...and toggle ON the 'Line Antialiasing' option as this will also improve the visibility of curves.
