Is it possible to represent one arrow on a half section while in the DRAWING mode? If so, what are the steps?
Thanks.

You can't hide the arrowhead if it's suppose to be there per the standard.

RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
I am not trying to prove a point, but it is important to emphasise offical standards at least for instructional purposes.
Again, is it possible to represent one arrow on a cutting plane line (section line) for a half section to represent the line of sight in a "DRAWING" file within SolidWorks?
Thanks.

Textbook examples: 1. Technical Drawing by Frederick E. Giesecke, Alva Mitchell, Henry Cecil Spencer, John Thomas Dygdon, James E. Novak 2. Technical Drawing by Goetsch & Chalk. 3. Mechanical Drawing/CAD-Communications by French, Svensen, Helsel, Urbanick.
These are some examples.

NOTE: I am only refering to a half section.
RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
From: ASME Y14.3M-1994 MULTIVIEW & SECTIONAL VIEW DRAWINGS
"Half Sections -- The view of a symmetrical object or one very nearly symmetrical which represents both the interior and exterior features by showing one half in section and the other half as an external view is known as a half section. This half section is obtained by passing two cutting planes, at right angles to each other, through the object so that the intersection line of the two cutting planes is coincident with the axis of symmetry of the object. Thus, one fourth of the object is considered removed and the interior is exposed to view. Cutting plane lines, arrows, and section letters may be omitted where cutting planes are coincident with the center lines. A center line is used to divide the sectioned half from the unsectioned half of a half sectional view."
I don't see anything about one arrow.
RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
Refer to the illustrations. You will never see two arrowheads on a cutting plane line for a half section. At least not in textbooks.

RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
Not teh best solution but doable.
For half sections, I usually don't show the arrow at all (fairly obvious whats happening), or I make an offset section line going to the center then moving out of the part.

RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
Thanks for the discussion and the debate.
RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
In my experience, I have never encountered any half sections with any arrowheads. But I have rarely seen this (half section) outside of textbooks and standards manuals.
RE: One Arrow Representation For A Half Section
if so try this in your template or in the properties of the individual drawing file.
Click Options on the Standard toolbar, or click Tools, Options.
On the Document Properties tab, click Detailing.
if you looking to the right and down you should see a check box for "alternate section display" if you check this you should have any current sections on your drawing updateded after hitting "ok" at the bottom.
I hope this is what you ment and it helps I've had the same problem for awhile now and just figured it out today.
If it isn't what you were looking for than sorry 'bout that but mabey it'll help someone that was as frustrated as me.
