Use this procedure to relocate a section line by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The section line also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the section line are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the section line by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the section line on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

---|---|
relocate the section line | enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point. |
locate the section line on the XY plane | make the normal of the section line parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y. |
locate the section line on the YZ plane | make the normal of the section line parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y and Z. |
locate the section line on the XZ plane | make the normal of the section line parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z. |
change the rotation of the section line | enter a new value for Rotation Angle. |
