Section View of an Assembly in a Drawing

[hpizzle]

I have an assembly model that I am trying to show a section view of in a drawing. I go to sections > 2-D cross section and select the appropriate plane but it doesn't create the view. Any assistance?

You can create a sectional view in two ways:
1. Define the cross section in the assembly model and then select the same while detailing.
2. Create a new cross section within the drawing environment using appropriate datum planes.

From your description of the problem, I understand that you do not have any pre-defined cross section in your assembly model. You can adopt the second method of creating the cross section. Feel free to post the query again in case of you are not clear about this topic.

The plane chosen must be an assembly plane. If one does not exist, create one.
