Crop Section
Crop Section
(OP)
Can I show a full crop section in SW 2007? I have a section view that's cropped and only displays the crop geomety that it's cutting though. I searched thought the options and help, but can't seem to find anything. I know under the detail function there's a full outline check box, but the crop doesn't have this option. I believe this was doable SW 2006.

TateJ,
I rather not fake it if I don't have to. Just want to see if I'm missing something in the options
Best,

RE: Crop Section
I guess a work-around would be to create an extruded cut the way you want it to look in your assembly and save it as another configuration. Pop that view into your drawing, and you should be able to get where you want to be.
Seems like a PITA for something that should be simple.

RE: Crop Section
My process was to make a circle and crop out everything outside of the circle, which it do so very well in both versions.
Tested with both standard views and section views. You cannot crop a detail view though.
