Section View in Drawing

Section View in Drawing

(OP)
Solidworks Premium 2010, SP3.1

I have around 30 configurations for my assembly which is about 200 MB. I am putting together assembly views for a manual and have around 10 Section Views I would like to import into my drawings....for the shop. Is there any way to import a section view configuration into a drawing?


 

RE: Section View in Drawing

In the assembly make your section view and save it.  Be sure to check "Drawing Annotation View", and you should see the view in the View Pallet for your drawing.

Ahhhhhhhhhh............got it!I hardly ever use the "Drawing Annotation View" so I never have it checked.

Thanks for the help!!!!!

RE: Section View in Drawing

I had a similar situation a while back and I don't remember how I solved it. I think I created section views off the page and simply dragged them back onto the page when I got what I wanted... really complicated.

This is a good tip! Thanks!
