TechDraw NewSection

Description
The Section tool creates a cross section view based on an existing part view.

How to use

 * 1) Select a part view in the 3D window or tree.
 * 2) If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will also need to select the desired page in the tree.
 * 3) Press the  button
 * 4) A dialog will open which will help calculate the various Section properties.  The dialog calculates reasonable starting points for SectionNormal and view Direction, but these may be changed after creation for special needs.



Options
None.

Properties
