Question.


Why Sketch Emphasis does not emphasize edges of sketch plane?

Solution

Sketch Emphasis emphasize the sketch, not just any geometry on the XY plane.


The sketch emphasis works like feature preview emphasis, the feature is emphasized relative to the surrounding geometry. 


The edges have nothing to do with the sketch geometry, so they are dimmed.
