Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part
Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part
(OP)
I have a section view of a model in UG drafting but the orientation of the section view is not what I had intended for. Is there a functionality in UG NX 7.o Drafting mode which will allow me to change the orientation of the object shown in the section view. Thanks to all your advice!

Insert -> View -> Pictorial Section View...
...you will have several options for defining the final orientation of the section view. However, I'm not aware of anything that can be done to change the orientation of an existing section view.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

If I use pictorial section view would it give me the same detail as using the section view option?
I think that would be great if I can orient the view of a section view using pictorial section instead if it gives the same sectioned detail.

hudson has a valid point about adding a note under the rotated view defining the change in orientation. I believe this is covered in ASME Y14.3M.
