Create Section View

Creates a section view of the objects in an existing 2D view.

When section views are added to a drawing, a View Section Indicator (VSI) can be assigned to display on both the source view and the section view. The VSI indicates the geometry, limits and look direction of the cutting plane on the source view, and displays a title on the section view. A VSI identifier character is allocated to the VSI in order to uniquely identify the section view (For example, A).

The visual style of the of the VSI is configured by the administrator. The VSI definition in use is determined by the user defaults (refer to Modify User Defaults for further information) or system defaults (refer to Set System Defaults for further information), if unset, no VSI is created.

Once the Draw application has generated the VSI, it can be modified by the user as required. Modification of the VSI has no effect on the section view definition, any changes are purely cosmetic.

Updating the section view or the corresponding cutting plane definition automatically updates the VSI and any modifications to the VSI are lost.
