Create a cut or a section from the detail

This tool creates an intersection on a selected element directly from the detail. The view can be selected from the View selection window or can be specified by the key number.

This command allows you to create an extra section view on your drawing. If you want a full view (not a section) simply draw the cutting plane outside the view

To access the command

Ribbon: Labels & Dimensions > Parametric views:

Command line: _AstM4DetManualCut

To create a section

1. Open the detail drawing.
2. On the Labels & Dimensions tab, Parametric views panel: Click .
3. On the command line, enter R (Request list) and press Enter.

   You can enter the view key number from the database.

4. From the View selection window, select the desired detail view.
5. Click OK.
6. If necessary, select how to define the depth of the cut: On the command line, enter S (Settings) and press Enter.

• V (Variable) - user-defined depth
• F (Fixed) - the depth defined in the detail style is used

Select the detail view on which you want to create the cut.
