I'm doing prints for an assembly. One of the components is a weldment with several segments of tubing extruded along the segments of a 3d sketch. I inserted a front view and projected a top and isometric view from it. I'm wanting to show the 3d sketch for the tubing, and it's showing up on the front view and the isometric view, but it won't show up in the top view. Even when I insert the top view from scratch, the sketch won't show up.

I actually was able to get the sketch to show by expanding the items on the tree in the property manager for that view until I reached that sketch, then right click and select "Show", but why wouldn't it show up otherwise, while it did in all of the other views?
 
Sound strange as it should show up in all the views until someone has purposely hide it.

Did you tried with other files too if you can replicate the issue? Did you checked wit your VAR for a possible cause or if you can share the offending part here to test.
