That's probably how I would go about doing it. Of course, I would 'Hide' the sketched line and dimension after I had created the Section View as I assume that you would do as well.

When you say "displaced section view", which step is the "displaced" ?
The final rotation of the view in the paper plane ?
To my knowledge of the ISO standard, this view is not displaced, it is OK in both rotations. The default orientation is to me much easier to understand and therefore preferred.
-The "golden objective" of a drawing is to be as simple to understand as possible.
Anyhow, you can simplify the sequence by instead of the extra sketch use the vector sub function when defining the hinge line and also move the section arrows in the section view dialog. See attached image.

I think you're correct, that section of the dialog appears to be misplaced. It should be with the Settings for Dimensions.
