You can specify a selection of objects in a drawing and view and edit them in a temporary section, elevation, or plan view. The UCS will be aligned to the temporary view while you are editing it.
For example, if you are working in a design with an angled wall and want to add a body modifier in an elevation view, you can switch to a temporary elevation, add the detail, and exit the elevation. You are returned to your working view, and you must save any modifications at this point. You could also use to look at the endcaps of a wall opening in a temporary section view or add a section line through objects at an angle.
The following high-level steps are necessary to view and edit an object in a temporary view:
- Select objects
- Generate temporary section, elevation, or plan view
- (Optional) Edit objects in view
- Dismiss temporary view
- (Optional) Save changes to objects
