Aligned Section View

Your Ad Here


You can create an aligned section view in a drawing through a model, or portion of a model, that is aligned with a selected section line segment. The aligned section view is similar to a Section View, but the section line for an aligned section comprises two or more lines connected at an angle.

You can pre-select sketch entities that belong to the drawing sheet to create aligned section views. The sketch entities do not have to belong to an existing drawing view.

To create an aligned section view:

  1. Click Aligned Section View on the Drawing toolbar, or click Insert, Drawing View, Aligned Section.

To create an aligned section view with more than two lines, you must select the sketched lines before clicking Aligned Section View . The lines must be connected at an angle and cannot form multiple contours.

  1. Sketch the section line. The section line should consist of two connected lines at an angle to each other.

If you are in a drawing of an assembly, set options in the Section View dialog box.

  1. Set options in the Section View PropertyManager.

You cannot change the angle of the line that you selected to align the view.

  1. Click to place the view.
