Can't view sketches, what setting will fix it

Can't view sketches, what setting will fix it

Can't view sketches, what setting will fix it

(OP)
I can't view sketches in one of my part files.  All old and all new sketches can only be seen when I am in Sketch mode or when I select the specific sketch in the Feature Manager. The sketches are not set to "hidden".  
Whenever I draw a new sketch as soon as I exit Sketch mode the sketch dissappears from view.

What setting to I need to change? This only happens with this one part file.  All my other parts and new parts are fine.

I did not create the problem part file.  I can see the sketches if I create an assembly and insert the problem part.  Why can I see the sketches in my assembly file but not when I open the individual part file?

Thank you in advance for your help

When you have the problem part open, check that View > Sketches is selected.

Hey thanks, that was quick

The person had selected
View > Hide All Types
Now that I unselected that everything is great.  

I tried changing all sorts of settings under Tools > Options but I should have looked under View instead
