Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**

Currently, adding a sketch most often add this to the last sketch plane, even when this is hidden! I usually have many objects in the same project and save them in separate folders, turning them on/off as required. I also tend to save copies of sketch planes and objects, especially when I’m applying non-reversible actions.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

If sketch planes are hidden then don’t add a new sketch there but create a new sketch plane. Alternatively, add a “new sketch plane” to the menu.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**  
It’s very annoying to have to shift existing sketch planes out the way or create at a different angle and then rotate back to the required angle.

Hi,

It will (actually, already is) in the HBPM Beta. Give it a try 🙂
