Exception of parts sliced in a cross section view

[Guusd]

Does anyone know how make 1 part not sliced in a section view. In the screenshot
yo can see a bolted connection and for clarity it'a better to have the bold non sliced.

Can that be done in NX (We could in Inventor)?

Thx in advance for helping me

Thanks Michaël,

It works but not always. When you select a body that you do not want to be sliced it
says 'SOLID' instead of the actuel p/n. I have to figure out why it doesn't work in all corcumstances
but at least there is a way it can be done.

I think if you hover your cursor above the component and wait long enough (3sec) then the quick pick screen will appear, here you can select the parts itself. See att.

The delay time for quick pick is adapteble in Preferences - Selection - Quickpick on delay, i have mine set on 0 sec, so the menu will appear instantly. Personal preferences, just play with it until you find a comfortable delay time for yourself.

Or set filter type to components in the Class Selections - Filters field. Maybe easier.

Below is a John Baker response that i cut from a previous post

Have you tried adding the 'non-section' Attribute to the Component?

If not, select the Component(s) that you wish to NOT section and add an Atrribute titled...

SECTION-COMPONENT

...and set the value to either YES or NO as desired.

If you would like to have complete control over when and how fast the QuickPick option (i.e. the '...') appears, go to...

Preferences -> Selection...

...and in the 'QuickPick' section simply toggle the 'QuickPick on Delay' option OFF and hit OK.

Now when you place your cursor over an object the '...' will never appear until YOU hold down MB1 at least a half-second or so. This way it will ONLY come into action when YOU want it to, and you don't have to wait if you need it immediately, just hold down MB1.
