Edit section view properties

You can edit the depth of an existing Section View, as well as include or exclude a Slice operation in the view.

Change the depth of a section view

1. Right-click the section view or cutting line.
2. Select Edit Section Properties from the context menu.
3. Change the section depth settings in the dialog box.
   • In the Depth Control, select Full to create the section view to all geometry beyond the cutting line.
   • Select Distance to specify a distance of viewing in model units beginning from the cutting line, and enter the depth distance in the Distance field.
     Note: Set the section depth to zero to revert to the smallest available section depth. This section is not a true zero-depth section. The actual value is 0.000012.

Include a Slice operation in an existing Section View

• Make sure "Include Slice" is checked. This setting creates a section view, with some components sliced and some components sectioned, depending on the Browser attribute settings.
• Optional: Check "Slice All parts" to override Browser component settings and slice all parts in the view according to the Section line geometry. Components that are not crossed by the Section Line does not participate in the Slice operation.
  Note: Since this view is essentially a true zero-depth Section View, the Section Depth fields are grayed-out when this option is checked.

Exclude an existing Slice operation from a Section View

• Make sure "Include Slice" is not checked. This setting removes existing Slice operations from the view.

Note: (Cut Inheritance):

• Isometric projected views created for section views inherit the section cut by default.
• Orthographic projected and auxiliary views support the inheritance of the section, but it is switched off by default.
• To switch on or off the inheritance of the section cut, right-click the child view, and select Edit View. Open the Display Options tab of the Drawing View dialog box, and select the Section option in Cut Inheritance.
