Create a section view

If you selected a cutting plane with non-parallel first and last lines, click the first or last line to define a fold angle for the section view.

Tip:

A cutting plane can be used to create only one section view. Before you can use a cutting plane to create another section view, you must delete the first section view.
To hide edges created by a cutting plane line with multiple segments, clear the Show edges created by cutting plane line vertices option. You can set this option in two places in the draft document.
- To set this as a preference for new section views, in the QY CAD Options dialog box, click the Edge Display tab, and then click Advanced.
- To show or hide the cutting plane line edge in an existing drawing view, from its shortcut menu, choose Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.
To change the section view direction, right-click the cutting plane line and choose the Flip Direction command. If you change the view direction, you must also update the derived section view.
You can use fill and hatch styles to define the patterned area of a section view.

You can use the Section Only option on the command bar to create a thin-section view that displays only the graphics that are physically cut by the cutting plane.
You can select the Revolved Section View option on the command bar to create a revolved section view instead of a standard section view.
For assembly models, you can use the Model Display Settings dialog box to show and hide parts before you click to place the section view.

When you click to position the section view, the section view is created so that it is aligned with the cutting plane.
If you specified a fold line, then the new view is aligned to the fold line.

You can create a new section view using an existing section view.
You can create a new section view from a rotated view. The new view has no alignment.
