Sketch editing issues in SpaceClaim

  Hi experts!
  I first sketched a circle in SpaceClaim, then used the pull function to create a cylindrical solid. After completing this operation, suppose I wish to re-edit the sketch. Why is the sketch no longer visible in the structure tree? This prevents me from re-editing the sketch. Additionally, I've noticed that SpaceClaim's geometric operations do not display the specific steps involved, whereas ANSYS DM shows detailed step-by-step procedures for each action.

  Yes. Spaceclaim is a Direct Modeler, so no history nor sketch editting. DesignModeler has a tree and is history based, so edits are available. SC has a journalling function, which DM mostly lacks.
  Both approaches are best in their own way.
