RE: Assembly Section help.

Not yet. I have sent this in a couple times as enhancement. Maybe if others send it in, they will change it.

RE: Assembly Section help.

I still believe the best method for producing what you are looking for is to create another configuration in your assembly and using assembly cuts to create the section.  Edit the feature scope to remove components that you do not want cut.  Within the drawing you can then apply area hatch to the sectioned faces.

This is a very old school work around, but it seems to still be the only way.

RE: Assembly Section help.

Just an FYI:
  You can do this in SW2006.

RE: Assembly Section help.

Is it functional in an ISO view using 2006.  I have not had much success creating broken sections in Iso's to date.
