Specify drawing section view cut depth?
Specify drawing section view cut depth?
(OP)
In Inventor you can easily specify the depth of a section view in a drawing by dimension, (a parallel offset distance from the cut line beyond which all detail is omitted). After limiting your section cut depth all projected or iso views from the section view only reflect that depth of cut. Is there an equivalent way to do this in SW 2005?
For example if you have a 36" dia x 100 ft tall process column and you want to cut a full section view in an assembly drawing across the 36" dia to show internals for a depth of 2' only from the section cut line. One very cumbersome work around in SW in a large assembly is to begin to use properties/hide components. Displaying only the surface cut does not provide the necessary detail.

A view of the cutaway config could then be called into the drawing & used to make the section.

The SW06 section view can set a depth from the section line effectively taking a slice of the part/assy & does not show anything beyond.
