Newcomer to the forum - This would be very helpful if you could see sketches in draft mode - is it possible?

RE: Sketches in draft

I would like to clarify the question, and Folke's answer.

Folke is entirely correct for the answer, but I want to distinguish the difference in Solid Edge between a sketch and a profile.  A sketch is a feature of its own, a profile is embedded in another (solid) feature.  If you created the profile geometry while constructing the protrusion, for example, that "sketch" will not be visible in draft.  You MUST create a sketch feature that is independent of any modeling feature.  Only those sketches can be viewed in draft.
