multiple sections lines with the same section?

multiple sections lines with the same section?

multiple sections lines with the same section?

(OP)
I have a long cylinder type part that has 4 or 5 of the same 10-32 bolt patterns. Is there a way to show several section lines of the same letter without creating multiple sections or having to draw in leaders and freehand section lines?

RE: multiple sections lines with the same section?

Can you just show the pattern once and include a note that the pattern is repeated at indicated locations?

RE: multiple sections lines with the same section?

(OP)
Well,
I wanted to show the section line at these locations with dimensions to the section lines. This is a busy part. I see that you can create multiple sections and name them D for example....you just have to turn off all of the actual sections. I guess I will do this since there may not be a trick to get me there.

RE: multiple sections lines with the same section?

Create one real section & section cutting line.
Create a dummy section cutting line with arrows & notations, turn it into a block, and place that wherever a dummy section is needed.

RE: multiple sections lines with the same section?

(OP)
thanks. I guess there would be no need for section lines that really dont section anything. Drawing and creating a block or turning off the multiple sections seem like the 2 choices. The block option creates the smaller file.

RE: multiple sections lines with the same section?

Make one section then add detail views.

"you just have to turn off all of the actual sections"

Or... just move them outside the boundaries of your drawing so they don't print.
