Is there a way in drawing to create a pattern cross section to show multiple cross section without having to add view each time. I know that you can do a X-section patteren in part mode, is there a way to add that to a drawing or export that info somehow?

While in a drawing, highlight the view containing the crosshatching, choose properties, the Mod Xhatch menu will appear, change the crosshatching to your choosing and choose Save. You can also start with system pre-defined crosshatching by choosing retrieve and modifying it.
 
Horn,



If I understand you correctly, you want to automatically create a patterned view from a patterned cross section.



No, you can't do this. The pattened x-sec will not be available in the drawing. You will have to create separate corss sections and views.

I kind-of knew this, but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks
