Solidworks - Aligned Section View longer than actual part

Solidworks - Aligned Section View longer than actual part

(OP)
I am trying to make an aligned section view. However every time I finish drawing my section line the projected view is longer than the parent part. Also the  view adds features that do not exist. How can I make sure the section view stays the same size and shows the actual features of the part?

RE: Solidworks - Aligned Section View longer than actual part

Use the regular Section tool, not the Aligned Section tool.

This is not how aligned sections work per drafting standards is it? I have seen many prints that use an aligned section that do not display the projection as longer. Can this be shut off?

RE: Solidworks - Aligned Section View longer than actual part

It cannot be "shut off", and doesn't need to be ... just don't use it.

If you want the regular section style, use the regular Section View.
