I get this message a lot and have no idea what it means? As in the following when selecting either of the rectangles. Something good, bad, ugly? An explanation would be appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Tommy

We show this message when you have a sketch group that is hidden, and you start drawing on it’s plane. Then we automatically show the sketches on that plane.
