Cut/Section |
Scroll |
To create a cut or a section, you need a different view and the cut line designation in it. The model will be dissected and projected on the plane parallel to the secant line in the view direction. Thus, the result of constructing the cut or the section depends in which view the cut line is located, as well as on the model orientation in that view (for the section — also depends on the view direction).
|
The view to which the cut line should belong is determined automatically based on the position of the created cut line relative to the associative views available in the drawing. If this view is not current, it becomes current and the cut line is included in it. Please note that if the drawing views are overlaid, the view for the cut line may be defined incorrectly. |
Step-by-step instructions
1.Create a cut or section line designation using the Cut/Section Line or Complex Cut/Section Line.
After setting the cut/section line in the associative view, the Cut/Section command will start automatically.
If the desired view of the drawing already has a cut/section line, call the Cut/Section 
command and specify the cut/section line.
After you specify the view arrow, a phantom of the outline frame of the view is displayed in the graphic area, and the elements for setting its parameters – on the Parameter Panel.
2.The cut/section is located in the projection link with its reference view, which restricts its movements. You can disable this link using the Projection link toggle switch. In this case, a view can be positioned in any place, as well as be rotated by a set corner – on the Parameter Panel, the Rotation angle field appears, where the value of angle is entered.
3.Set the name and number of the view using the respective fields. The number of the view can be any number other than the numbers of already existing views.
4.Set the scale of the view and the color of its display. Details...
5.If it is required to transfer the layers which are available in the model into a view, enable the Transfer Layers option.

6.If the reference view is created from an assembly model with the configured spacing settings, then in the created view it is possible to display this assembly in a spaced view. To that end, enable the Explode Assembly Components option.
7.Select the image type – a cut or section – using the Cut/Section toggle switch.
8.Configure the rendering of view lines. Details...
9.Set up the hatching parameters. Details...
10.Configure the transfer of objects and Detailing elements to the view. To that end, in the Objects section, enable the required options in the Model Objects and Symbols from model lists.

11.Specify which designations should be automatically created in the views. To that end, in the Create group, in the Objects section, enable the corresponding options in the Symbols in the drawing list.

12.Configure the structure of the view caption. Details...
13.Select the point which will be used as the datum point of a view. To that end, in the View Base Point group, press one of the following buttons:
Center of bounding rectangle or contour,
View Origins.
14.Set the snap point of the view. To that end, specify the position of point in the graphic region using the mouse, or enter its coordinates in the Snap point field of the Coordinates group on the Parameter Panel.
Creation of the view will be completed. In the graphic region, there appears an image of the view, and in the Drawing tree – its icon and the name.

By default, all the parts which fell within the clip plane are shown in cross-section. You can also make some of them uncuttable. |
|
If the dissected region of the reference view has a break, then the cut/section is automatically built with a break. |
