VIEWSECTION — Section view

Creates a section view of a drawing view along a cutting line.

• Command: VIEWSECTION · Global name: _VIEWSECTION

Creates a section view of a drawing view, like AutoCAD's VIEWSECTION.

Usage

1. Type VERSECCION and pick the parent view (a view created with VIEWBASE).
2. Specify the two points of the cutting line.

Specify the location of the section view (the side sets the direction of sight):

3. The side of the line where you place the view is the direction of sight: what lies behind the cutting plane is kept.

Result

• The view is aligned with the parent, with the cut area hatched (45-degree lines on MD_Hatch).
• In the parent the cutting line is drawn with its arrows and letter (A, B...), and under the section its title and scale.

Notes

• The parent must be a base, projected or detail view.
• The hatching is made of lines, not an associative HATCH object.
