Half View - Problems - Urgent
(OP)
I have created a half view cross section from a general view. The problem is that I need the sectioned view flipping 180 degrees i.e. (It is showing X-Y, i need to show Y-X, if you know what I mean). when I go to reorient the general view, it tells me it cannot change the half view, or if I flip the arrows, nothing happens. Please help. I do not want to start again defining new sections as it would be a real headache. Is there a quick solution.
Cheers and in desperation.

I'm sorry but your trick does work but this the lazy way, not to mention it increases the size of you drawing and regen time. I had co-worker that praticed this and it drove other users nuts, not to mention myself. Do it the right way and it makes life easier for everyone.

1. modify your new section view to be general,
2. move it to its appropriate place on the drawing sheet to be alligned where it should appear,
3. modify it agin to be a projected view selecting yur main view to be uased as a projection reference as its parent,
4. modify the cross section to show arrows in this main view,
5. delete the superfluous general view off to the side of your drawing sheet. (don't erase! use delete)
I agree whole heartedly with Tofflemire, practices putting bad information on the drawing are lazy and make future work on the drawing for others a real nightmare.
Good luck
