Saving section views?
(OP)
Just wondering if custom section views can be saved so that they appear in Orientation toolbar and can be viewed anytime without having to create them fresh everytime?
Thanks

OR, after picking the section view and creating the section, do not close the "section view" dialog box. Look down to "Options", and pick "Save View". This ALSO saves the named view to the Orientation dialog box.
(yes, in part or assembly file)

Is your section so complex that you can't do it in the drawing?

This is in another configuration, with the cut-extrude suppressed in all the other configurations. Also, name the view that you want of the cut and save it. Now, when you return to this configuration, you can get the same view, and if you ever want it in a drawing you can insert the named view.

One "problem" with using a saved section view in the Orientation pop-up, is that once selected, the section remains for all other standard views. It is, however, very easy to deselect the Section View icon to remove it.

Are you SURE you can't just cut a section view in your drawing?

Either way, try running a repair. See the Solidworks Installation section in the FAQs.
