A couple of drafting questions again
A couple of drafting questions again
(OP)
I am doing a component (its a sheet so not solid) that is laminated and I would like to add a section view showing the plies. My plan was to offset the section line to generate a series of curves. The problem is that I cannot offset the section curve. I was expecting to be able to extract the curve then offset it trim it etc. but cannot find the command.
The next question is how can you edit the length if the section line. I only want the section line to pass through the edge of the component and not through the whole component a partial section view so to speak.
Thanks in advance.

I believe the second question can be answered in this post: http://www
It applys to most versions of NX.
Don't forget to mention what version of NX you are on.

I am using NX4.
I was expecting to be able to extract the section "curve" as it is very complicated then be able to offset it. I have just moved over from Ideas.
