To Change the Display of Graphic Subdivisions in a 2D Section

Use this procedure to change the display of subdivisions in a 2D section by changing its display properties.

You create subdivisions by adding them to the section line. You can then change their length using grips or by editing the values in the section line properties.

Each subdivision in a 2D section is assigned to a numbered subdivision display component in the display properties of the section or the 2D section style. You can control the visibility, layer, color, linetype, lineweight, and linetype scale of each subdivision by changing the display properties of each component. You can apply these changes to the selected section, to the current 2D section/elevation style, or to all 2D sections and elevations in the drawing that do not have a style override.

1. Select the 2D section in the drawing, and do one of the following:
   • To change the display for the graphic subdivisions in the 2D section style, click 2D Section/Elevation tabGeneral panelEdit Style drop-downEdit Style.
   • To change the display for the graphic subdivisions for the selected 2D section object only, right-click, and Edit Object Display. Then, check the Object Override box.
2. Click the Display Properties tab.
3. Select the property source to edit:
   • To change the display for the graphic subdivisions in the 2D section style, check the Style Override box.
   • To change the display for the graphic subdivisions for the selected 2D section object only, check the Object Override box.
4. If necessary, click .
5. Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab to list all the components that contribute to the display of the object.

   The defining line represents the cutting plane of the section line. The numbered subdivision components correspond to subdivisions added to the section line. For example, the display component Subdivision 1 corresponds to the subdivision closest to, but not on, the cutting plane of the section line.

6. Turn the visibility on or off, and change the layer, color, linetype, lineweight, or linetype scale as needed for each subdivision component.
7. Click the Hatching tab to change the shrinkwrap hatch pattern of the section.
8. Click the Other tab to add a custom display component to the display of the 2D section.
9. Click OK twice.
