revolved section
revolved section
(OP)
I am trying to do a revolved section off a cylinder. I can do the first line by snapping to the quad point (vertical line) no problem. How do I get the second line to go at a 235 degree angle from vertical (0 degrees)? I tried putting a line in at 45 from the center of the circle and the section line won't snap to it? I see no way to define the angle on the hinge line.
Thanks.

To show you what I mean, watch the attached video to see how you could do exactly what you're looking for using this new 'Add Section Line' function function being introduced in NX 10.0.

If you can pick a point of that "something" in a different view, you can do that.
Or if you set the base view to hidden lines = dashed you can pick a point from the hole/detail there.

Had a quick look in NX10 and tried the new section line functionality. Looks pretty nifty...
One question though... Why did Siemens make that a separate step? Why not incorporate this in the Section view menu itself?
Must be a reason for but I don't see it...
And with this new function, would it be possible to change a revolved section cut to a stepped section cut for instance?
That is what we have been looking for for many years now...

Thanks to put this function in NX as PTC has put long time ago in ProE. Not in the same way, but it is almost the same idea.
