Is This Section Line Shown In ASME Y-14.5-2009

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Someone in another forum was asking how to show a section line per the image, and stated it was per ASME Y-14.5-2009. Can anyone here confirm that?

If confirmed, where and why would it be used?

The image didn't come through, but Y14.5 deals with dimensioning and toleranceing, not drawing or view creation.

What image, plus as ewh says line convention is dealt with in Y14.2 and Y14.3 deals with multiview and sectional view drawings.

I have ASME Y14.3M-2003 (not sure if there's a newer version) but didn't see it (though I only flicked through the std.).

I don't have the 2009 edition of 14.5, but had a real quick flick through -1994 edition and didn't notice it.

Any ideas why or where it would be used?

I've seen similar zig-zags used on 'edges' where the section changes direction in the sectioned view, but never in the section (cutting) line itself.

It's a "Long break line".

Used, well, to break views and create "broken-out" sections.

Has to be solid.

The definitions are in ASME 14.2 Line Conventions and Lettering.

I have never seen it used as a "section" line, only "break" line.

I was thinking break line but I don't have a remotely up to date 14.2 or 14.5-2009 so didn't' want to guess.
