Copy Section

(OP)
Stupid question. can I copy a section? I need to make an additional section a-a for a paint, chem film and anodizing processing and do not want in the original sec a-a where the dimensions are going to be.

Thanks,

RE: Copy Section

Not that I know of.

Are you wanting to do this on the same sheet as the parent and original section view?

One workaround;
Copy the parent view and use the same section line to create a new section view, and then either hide the parent view or move it outside the sheet area.

RE: Copy Section

... or just copy both parent and child at the same time.

RE: Copy Section

CBL, the workaround will work just fine. Yes, it's on the same sheet.

Thanks amigo!
