Simple question. Why is not possible to rename sketches?  
All other items appear to have the rename function.  
If the drawing becomes complex it would quite useful to be able to separate sketches by name.

@stringboy  
It is:

Use **Items** at the bottom left of the Design Screen

Drag the right hand edge of the Name Tag

Use **Add \> Construction Plane** add as many as needed and Rename in a similar manner

Hi, sketches are grouped by planes and currently, it’s not possible to sort/rename individual sketches just like bodies.

Sketches drawn on the same plane are grouped together and you can follow @Gelphyn’s explanation to group your sketches by having them drawn on the same plane. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry for delay in replying. Is that going to change? If you are creating a complicated 2d sketch it would be quite useful to be able to name separate parts. I understand there maybe a reason for this at the moment but going forward…

@stringboy  
This may offer a method of keeping Sketches separate:
