How do you do a section view in part design
How do you do a section view in part design
(OP)
This seems like it should be so simple. The help file tells me its on my views/annotations tool bar. I have a view toolbar, but I don't have a viewS tool bar. I can go into views menu and turn on and off the annotation tool bar, but nothing appears or disappears from my screen.
I'm running version 5 R18

You have multiple choices (not quite like in SW):
- hide those features which block your view.
- insert the CATPart in a fake CATProduct and use sectioning tool like in SW.
- create planes (this is not dynamic) and use visualization toolbar in a sketch defined in that plane.

RE: How do you do a section view in part design
Ferdo is right - there are several ways to section in 3D. His second method (Sectioning tool in Assembly Design workbench) is probably the closest method to SW, plus it is dynamic.
and there are several other ways as well:
4. create a plane and use the GSD Intersection with the Part Bodies
5. create a plane and temporarily SPLIT the PartBodies
6. make a drawing and create multiple Section Views or Section Cuts
7. use FTA annotation view
