Section jog makes a solid line in section view.
Section jog makes a solid line in section view.
(OP)
When i create a section that jogs, the section view shows a solid line at every jog. Is there any way to hide these solid lines?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

You can select & Hide the edges if you really need to, but Chris is correct, the solid line should be there to show where the cut is being made.

RE: Section jog makes a solid line in section view.
I understand why the lines are there. But it goes agains good drafting practices. (just looks bad)
RE: Section jog makes a solid line in section view.
I believe it's good (and standard) practice to show the "cut" edges.
Anyway, as I mentioned, you can hide the edges you don't want to show.

As for section lines not showing how it truly looks, another example that goes against that notion is an "Aligned Section View". Go to page 8 of that PDF and look at view b. You will notice the section lines going through the bolt holes, but the view to the right is not "normal to the projection".

Would be an enhancement request for the option to remove the lines.

When I was on the board, I was taught to show the "broken edge" symbol to help distinguish the sectioned edge.
___/\ ___ Not to any standards that I know of, but effective.

BTW, The view to the right of View B, page 8 (of the PDF), is not an Aligned Section View. It is actually a partial rotated view. It is showing the vertical section & the angled section simultaneously, with the centreline being the "pivot" line.

RE: Section jog makes a solid line in section view.
Regardless if it was drawn in AutoCAD, or on a drafting board using mechanical pencils, ANSI standards are ANSI standards. ANSI standards are what I used since back in the drafting table days, but I cannot tell you how ASME standards treat these 2 section views.
This may be a question for the "Drafting Standards & GD&T Forum", forum1103

(The emphasis is mine.)
I never really thought about it before, but I understand now why they would call it that.
... but I must remember to contact SW & tell them to correct their error.

In any case, I usually select those lines in SW and make them thin. I know others who hide them.

But what if you draw to British Standard 1192 ?

Company standards may want you to show them, but ASME/ANSI says don't use them.
