show non-sectioned detail on section view
(OP)
Hi,
I'd like to find the best solution for dimensioning an adapter plate as shown in the attachement -the original drawing is made in ProE.
In your opinion what would be the best realization in NX (8.5), which is elegant and preferably involves only standard NX-tools (no tinkering).
(break-out section doesn't have a section line, half-section doesn't allow segments in the sect-line)
Thank you in advance,
Attila

RE: show non-sectioned detail on section view
That being said, see the attached example where I created a normal Stepped Section view. Then I broke that view to remove a portion of it. I then broke a normal side view at the same location only removing the other 'side'. This second broken view I then moved so as to superimpose it over the top of the first broken view.
Anyway, take a look and see if this meets your criteria.

thanks for the answers, always feels good not to be alone.
@KhimaniMohiki: I already tried the method which I attached this time. It's the closest and easiest I did so far, but doesn't seem like elegant (it's an ugly solution to be honest).
I'm experimenting with John's version now -which looks fine; only problem is the two views are aligned together nicely, but they're not moving together (this can be a mistake-opportunity on user's side).
Thanks again,

RE: show non-sectioned detail on section view
In NX 7.5 ( i think it was 7.5) there is an option to display "Bend Lines" under Style- Section for the particular view.
Another trick i have used before this option was added was to add a 2-D centerline in the section view which shows where the step is.
Some people want this line whilst some other people don't.
See attached image.
