Deactivating a Sketch

In Sketcher, for its absolute axis feature and all its use-edge features (projection, intersection etc.), it is not possible to provide a regular temporary deletion behavior.

If these features are deactivated, its geometry is still available and visible in the geometrical result associated to the sketch feature. Deactivation for these feature is applicable only to their associativity. All the other type of geometries contained in a sketch do not support this command.
