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

With all of the hype around 3D printing, it can be easy to get lost in fascinating, intricate metal parts made with additive manufacturing. These parts, while impressive, are probably dissimilar from many of the parts you currently produce or use. So why invest in metal additive manufacturing? Download NowConstruction was at one time a highly regionalized business. Pragmatic and market forces made it more efficient for even a large, industrial general contractor to focus regionally. But inexorable trends are making it more important for major commercial, civil, engineering and industrial contractors to grow their global footprint.
Download NowMining is a relatively straightforward business model, driven by cyclical patterns of commodity demand and availability. Disruptive technologies, however, are now offering new tools to teams that enable them to change the rules of the game in their favor. Download NowSelecting business software for a medium to enterprise-sized construction concern is extremely challenging in large part because most enterprise resource planning (ERP) suites originated in the world of repetitive manufacturing and are therefore a poor fit for a project and asset-centric business. However, midsize to large contractors need the predictable, auditable processes that ERP delivers.

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.
