NX 7.5 Section not showing all the components

[unides23]

I can't seem to get my section views to show all the components from the parent view. I have checked Layers Visible In View and every other thing i can think of. I have had no luck. PLEASE HELP!

The components may be marked as non-sectioned. Check the Edit -> View -> Section in view list, and also check the component attributes of the affected components. You can change whether the component gets sectioned or not by an attribute titled SECTION-COMPONENT with a value of 1 or 0 (or maybe the value is "yes" or "no").

Here is another thread that mentions it:

I tried both. No Luck. I have a framw weldment with a wing attched. When I cut the section, only the frame shows up in the views..

Make one of the affected components the display part and run the Examine Geometry command. Errors in the geometry may cause problems with drafting views (especially section views).

Tried that. Nothing. I have tried sections up and down an entire 24' wing with the same results, half empty section cuts

I have to be missing something! This is beyond frustrating.

THese are native NX parts? Not I-Deas JT files? Also are you using the correct assembly arrangements that you are cutting the view through? Are these parts interfering with other parts? What does the clipping look like in the modeling?

Were some of the Components loaded using 'Lightweight' Reference Sets?

or could they be sheet bodies instead of solid bodies ?

 

[unides23]

It was the Lightweight Reference set. Thanks John.

Does anyone know how to turn off the Auto Centerline?
