applying annotation view to a cross-section

applying annotation view to a cross-section

(OP)
I've finally been forcing myself to fully detail my models so the drawing process goes a little faster. On revolved internal features, I want to show those dimensions in a cross section view on the drawing. However, I can't figure out how to apply an annotation view to a cross section. Is this possible? If not, how do you prefer to deal with cross sections?

Thanks,
Matt

RE: applying annotation view to a cross-section

Create the cross-section in the model. Hit your space bar and then the "New view" button. It should automatically assign a section view name. You can then select your dimension tool and apply your dimensions.
In the drawing, create your views, including a section view, and then select 'Insert Model Items'.
