Creating an Offset Section as a New Cross-Section View

  1. Sketch a chain of lines in a drawing sheet view.
  2. Select a line segment.
  3. Enter the Cross Section tool.
  4. Move your mouse to place the planar cross section view.

The new view will be projected perpendicular to the selected line segment, which can be slanted.

SpaceClaim will find the other connected segments to create the view.

If the tool cannot find an unambiguous chain of lines, a planar section will be created.
