Newcomer to the forum - This would be very helpful if you could see sketches in draft mode - is it possible?
 
select the view and click properties. select the part/assembly containing the sketch in the list. Under display click Parts list options and chose list sketches. In the list select the sketch and check show in selected parts display...
 
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.
