ANGLE SECTION
ANGLE SECTION
(OP)
I need to learn how to make a section at an angle.
my arrows alway end up perpendictular to the cut plane and I want the another angle(22degree). the attached PDF shows the basics for what I need.

RE: ANGLE SECTION
Why can't you just make a vertical section? It will show the same thing.
What you want is a bit to the left of drawing standards.

Thanks for your input.

It really doesn't make sense not to have the arrows perpendicular to the cutting plane, because then it can be translated differntly by each individual.
RE: ANGLE SECTION
I am interested to learn how to do this associatively in NX.

Next, in drafting...just place the view you saved out...
Hope this helps.

If so, per ASME Y14.3-1994 para 3.1.2: A sectional view should appear on the same drawing sheet with the cutting plane view and be projected from and perpendicular to the cutting plane in conformity with the standard arrangement of views." (emphasis mine)

1. Orthographic
2. Inherit orientation
3. Section Existing view
And the funny thing is the direction of arrow remains same whether u take 1st or 2nd option from the dropdown. For 1st option Hinge Line and arrow direction should be perpendicular, I agree. But for second option the arrow direction should change as shown in the pdf file, which is not happening in the software.
You can't just tell that it is not industry standard, otherwise "Inherit orientation" should not have been provided by Siemens.
RE: ANGLE SECTION
Beyond that then I tend to think that if CAD systems can exceed minimum expectations while providing useful and superior functions then that ought to be welcomed as a bonus.

RE: ANGLE SECTION
Can you tell the other uses of Inherit Orientation that you have quoted?
Well, my basic question remains same, i.e.
A section line contains Two directions,
1. Cutting Plane (that u are defining by a vector)
2. Viewing direction (i.e. the direction of arrow, for which you have the options of "Orthogonal" and "Inherit Orientation")
In "Orthogonal" these two (cutting plane and viewing direction) are perpendicular to each other.
In "Inherit Orientation", they can differ from this 90 degrees relation (orthogonal).
Now, you create two section views, one with "Orthogonal" and one with "Inherit Orientaion", there is absolutely lot of difference between these two section views, which is because of change in the "Viewing Direction" i.e. Arrow Direction. But the "Section Line" is not reflecting this change. How do you differentiate between these two "Section lines"?, Industry standards or software should not create such ambiguity, right?
RE: ANGLE SECTION
As to software, it is usually the operator causing the ambiguity.

If I had to have the section view as requested, I would cut the section at the angle, rotate the view and include the section name and rotation angle under the section.
