REVOLVED VIEW MANAGEMENT in NX8 1

[CAD2015]

I dcan't get the revolving section view in Drafting.........
Maybe because is Friday...........( )
Could somebody help me in this matter?
The Documentation Help Menu doesn't provide specifical information regarding this specifical subject.....

OK, thanks you!

For a better understanding.....What is the difference between a simple Section View and a Revolved one?

[JohnRBaker]

First off, while it's possible to create the equivalent of 'Simple Section' view using a 'Revolved Section' view where the sections are aligned, it's impossible to create a true 'Revolved' section using a 'Simple Section'.

Basically a 'Simple Section' is single straight cut through the model, while a 'Revolved Section' view has at least two cutting-segments, which share a common pivot point, which when created shows the 'cuts' displayed in 'true-length' view segemets developed into a single 2D view. If you look at the 'Section Lines' and the arrow directions, it should pretty obvious what it is that the final view is showing you.

I have attached a file (NX8) with both Revolving and Extruded features in Modeling.
Trying to see which operation is more suitable for the Drafting Revolving View.
What do you think?

Thanks,

What exactly are you asking? If you're attempting to model what's happening when you made that Section view in your Drawing (BTW, WHY are you NOT working Master Model mode?), fine. And if so, then the 'Extrude' is what's happening.

OK, I think that I understand now……
I was misled by the name (Revolve, which involve rotation) of the Revolve Section tool.
I thought that this kind of section is created based on a theoretical rotation cut.

No, if means that the 'segments' are revolved about common points relative to each other.

John Baker's reply:

What do you mean by that, having the 3D model attached as a component for the 2D file?
If this is the case, In this thread I tried to focus on the topic, ignoring the other details…..

That's OK. In fact, after I responded I sort of got that notion myself, but since you can't go back and edit these posts, I was stuck with what I had written. Sorry.

That's OK, no problem.
