Drawing Section View Error Message
Drawing Section View Error Message
(OP)
I've done a lots of section views in drawing mode before, but today when I click on the "create section view" icon I immediately get an error message that says "there are no drawing views from which a section can be made". This happens regardless of which view in the drawing I activate.
Any thoughts?

It's not a Rapid Draft drawing is it?

Are you sure the view is actually "active" and not just selected?

Thanks for your response. I guess my 2004 was somehow corrupt. I installed 2005 last night along with SP.01, and the problem went away.

It is a solid. I've seen this once before and somehow I got around it but it was a while ago and I didn't make a note of it.

Sorry, I'm new to the site and I didn't give you enough information.
It's a standard, run of the mill SW 2004 solid (sp 4.0), with no alerts, flags, or unresolved features, created the old-fashioned way. Nothing special or complicated about it.
Actually I'm having the same problem with several other parts that I created today as well.
Thanks,
Ray

Try Lock View Focus on the view and see if it helps.
