When you enable Visibility toolbar > Show “other kinematic and sketch-elements”, you can see:

... all Kinematic elements and Sketch elements that in the active Mechanism-Editor when you edit a Part

AND

... those Kinematic elements and Sketch elements that are in other Mechanism-Editors that have their Light-Bulbs ON

Visibility toolbar > Show other Kinematic and Sketch elements

Visibility toolbar > Hide other Kinematic and Sketch elements

There is a Light-bulb in each Mechanism name-tab.

The Light-bulb must be ON to show from other Mechanism-Editors those kinematic and sketch-elements that are in this Mechanism-Editor.

Mechanism name-tab : Light-bulb switch is ON

Mechanism name-tab : Light-bulb switch is OFF

To turn a Light-bulb switch to on :

1.Right-click the Mechanism name-tab of any Mechanism-Editor

2.Click Show with "other kinematic and sketch elements".

Note: You can also Edit color of “other kinematic and sketch-elements” in each Mechanism-Editor.

Visibility toolbar (or menu) > Show “other Kinematic and Sketch elements” is OFF

Kinematic and sketch-elements in active and other Mechanism-Editors.

Thee Kinematic and Sketch-Elements of other Mechanism-Editors when their Light-Bulb is also ON.

Visibility toolbar (or menu) > Show “other kinematic and sketch elements” is ON

A Part-Outline symbol in a different Mechanism-Editor that also has its Light-Bulb ON

A Line or CAD-Line in a different Mechanism-Editor that also has its Light-Bulb ON

You can control the color of the elements if you right-click the Mechanism name-tab.

In the example above, there are three colors.

•Green is the color of elements that are kinematically-defined in the active Mechanism-Editor

•Blue and Red are the colors of elements that are in other Mechanism-Editors

When you “show other kinematic and sketch-elements” in other Mechanism-Editors, you can use you mouse-pointer to:

Identify Parts

•Single-Click a Part-Outline (or Joint, or CAD-Line) to identify (in the Selection-Window and Assembly-Tree) the name of the Part (or Joint, or CAD-Line) and the Mechanism-Editor to which it is a child.

•Single-Click a sketch-element to identify, in the Selection-Window, the name of the sketch-element and the Part to which the sketch-element is a child.

Jump to a different Mechanism-Editor

•Double-Click a Part-Outline or sketch-element to jump to the Mechanism-Editor in which the Part or sketch-element is a child.
