Section from a broken view
Section from a broken view
(OP)
All,
I searched for this problem and didn't find it so if it's already been answered please forgive.
I have a long bar that I've shown on the drawing sheet via a broken view. Now I need to show a section through the end to show an internal features but UG tells returns a "Selected View is Invalid".
Thanks in advance.

RE: Section from a broken view
Pro/E lets you do this but then again it will let you call 2 separate detail views and section views all by the same letter which seems inane to me.
If you create a section from a view you will not be able to make it a broken view, and if you create a broken view you will not be able to create a section off it which although not so convenient I believe that it is consistent with drafting standards like not taking a section off of a section view.
The copy view option may be your best bet to get what you want.

RE: Section from a broken view
The second is similar. Create the broken view as desired but place a view with a manual view boundary directly over the broken view and again work off of this view to create your section.
Kind of hokey, but it works.
