Referencing Section Views

Referencing Section Views

Referencing Section Views

(OP)
OK, I've seen this done a couple of ways, but don't quite remember them, know if there is a "standard" way.  (Just FYI, using SolidWorks, and I'd think it'd be nice of it to put that type of note in as a feature when move the section views around.)

Cut a section, or make a detail view on sheet 1, put the section view/detail on sheet two.  Best to cross-reference back and forth.

On sheet one, the section line has the A-A on it, and I can put a note under it stating 2:2A (or 2/2A) for sheet 2, zone 2A, or put in a box with a line around it, etc.  On the section notes, can reference back to the calling sheet with 1:4B (or whatever).  Is that enough?  More info needed?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Referencing Section Views

Are you asking how to move the section view from one sheet to another, or how to add the cross-referenced note to the moved view? .. or both?

If it's the Move, you can use the regular cut-n-paste methods.
If it's the note, you have to add it manually.

I nominate OP for MIPOD.

MIPOD?  Something Something "Post of Day"???

I know how to move, I know how to add the note, I was asking if below the Section cut line you would put:

SH 2, ZONE 2A

To reference where to look for the actual section view.  And if do the same to cross-reference back to the cut.  (Or detail)  I've seen it as listed above, could be done with just "2:2A", or could be done within a block, something like:

CODE

_______
|     /| 2
| 2  / |
|   /  |
|  / A |
|_/____|

I don't recall there being any specific standard in ASME Y14...  

And just as an aside, I stated that it'd be nice if SW did the cross-referencing for you...such that when you move a view, the references would auto-update.  I hate having to manually update things like that with "dumb" notes.

RE: Referencing Section Views

I don't know about a standard for such, but if I had to I would use a long-hand note, "See Sheet 1".

MIPOD ... ponder ... idea ... Most Inscrutable Post Of (the) Day.

RE: Referencing Section Views

Thanks "inscrutable" is much nicer than "idiotic".  Whew.  

RE: Referencing Section Views

Nah, certainly not "idiotic".  I was thinking on the lines of "incomprehensible".  It's obvious you're trying to do something sensible, but it's not too clear what that is.  "Inscrutable" certainly fits the bill as well.  smile  Sorry for the bluntness.  I meant to be jovial, but, upon another reading, it looks mean-spirited.  Comes from posting when I'm too busy with other stuff to have any business doing so.

RE: Referencing Section Views

(OP)
Handleman, no problem, I didn't take it mean-spirited at all, was just curious the acronym.  I agree it was confusing, wasn't sure how to say it..I think I did a better job with my repost...
