Is it bad practice to add a section view from a detail view or does it matter as long as your design intent is captured?
 
Bart ...

This is typically a matter of company policy.... but can sometimes be set by the CAD software in use

Wisely, DASSAULT's "SOLIDWORKS" establishes definitions and makes policy (de facto) by the way that their software works



Some software packages (SIEMENS) specifically discuss section views taken from Detail views (see page 3-32)


MORE INFORMATION !!!! ..........Give us a detailed example of your probem.... tell us more about your specific issues !!!

It is bad practice to add any view that is not needed to fully undertsand the subject of the drawing.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
