any way of improving sketch line visibility vs. edges, axes, etc...?

    Hello all,

    I'm sure I'm not the first to encounter this: when drawing a sketch
    over a solid, particularly when converting entities, I find it
    difficult to distinguish clearly between part edges, sketch lines, and
    planes/axes that are overlapping. I tried using the part shading
    color for edges/wireframe and that helps (I have the default part
    color set to gray). Are there other tricks that people use? Is it
    possible to change sketch line thickness?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I changed the colors of sketch entities to contrast a little.
    Unconstrained entities are still blue, but I changed so that
    constrained entities are dark green. This helps differentiate from
    dimensions and lines in other sketches.

    Another thing I find helpful is to set the sketch optins so that
    endpoints and centerpoints are visible.
