The Sketch Palette's **Construction Geometries** option hides construction curves while you
work. A hidden construction curve cannot be picked by a click or by a box. Nothing invisible
is selectable. The option belongs to one sketch and is saved with the design. Centerlines are

line type, such as the trace of a plane, answers to **Projected Geometries** instead. The

Polygon tools show their edge outline while positioning the second point, so the orientation
can be checked before placement. Inscribed and circumscribed polygons retain their support
circle and update the outline when the inline **Sides** value changes.
