To Work With Projection and Crossing Styles for Section Views

To create a projection style

Projection styles are used to display AutoCAD objects and multi-view blocks in section view.

2. In the Projection Styles dialog box, specify the name of the style and other settings as required.

2. Right-click a projection style and click Edit.
3. On the Section tab, select AutoCAD Solids.
4. Select the As Drawn option.
5. Save the projection style and apply it to the AutoCAD solids you project to sections.
Note: When you project AutoCAD solids to section views, and choose to display crossings, the solid can be drawn so that it represents the actual position of where the sample line crosses the solid. To display this type of crossing for a solid, select <Section> as the crossing marker style in the Projections and Crossings Output Display Options dialog box or on the Projections and Crossings tab of the Section View Properties dialog box. You can control the appearance of 3D solid crossings that use the <Section> style option by modifying the properties of the 3D solid layer.
