cmm...I’m not sure of or fully understand the question…you may want to re-word it for clarification but I think you’re trying to create a ‘broken out section’ view from a ‘detail view’…as in Detail ‘A’ or possibly Section ‘B-B’. If so then SolidWorks doesn’t let you do this. I get this message when I try to do a ‘broken out section’ from a detail view in SW2007…”Broken out section view may not be created on a detail, section, or alternate position” and then the ‘broken out’ section icon dims and can’t be selected. This might be obvious but if I can’t perform the action in SW2007, it’s possible it can’t be done in SW2006 either. Maybe someone else knows differently…
