Drafting Section View Drafting Section View
Greetings:
I have a question on defining the line of a section view. It does not appear that the section line can be anything but a straight line of whatever center you select. What I would like to be able to do is have one half of the line between (2) points, and the other half between (2) different points (both share the same center). I have attached an example picture to help clarify.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Brent

RE: Drafting Section View
If using NX11 or higher (I assume nothing's changed after NX11), bring up the Section View dialog (Menu -> Insert -> View -> Section...) and go over to the top of the Section View dialog and change the 2nd pulldown from the top from Simple/Stepped to Revolved. Use available model features to position the point of rotation and the start & end legs.
