TechDraw SectionView/es

Descripción
The TechDraw SectionView tool inserts a cross-section view based on an existing part view.



Utilización

 * 1) Select a part view in the 3D view or Tree view.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the tool:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) A task panel opens which will help calculate the various properties. Reasonable values for the view Direction are calculated, but these can be changed.



Properties Section View
See also TechDraw View.

Datos

 * : Fuse the source shapes before performing the section cut.
 * : Additionally trim the resulting shape after the section cut to remove any unwanted pieces.


 * : Appearance of the cut surface. Options:
 * : Hides the cut surface, only the outline will be displayed.
 * : Colors the cut surface using the setting of Cut Surface Color in the TechDraw preferences.
 * : Hatches the section cut using a hatch
 * : Hatches the section cut using a geometric hatch
 * : Full path to SVG hatch pattern file.
 * : Full path to PAT pattern file.
 * : Full path to the included SVG hatch pattern file.
 * : Full path to the included PAT pattern file.
 * : Name of the PAT pattern to use.
 * : Hatch pattern size adjustment.


 * : The identifier for this section.
 * : The view on which this section is based.
 * : A vector describing the direction normal to the cutting plane.
 * : A vector describing a point on the cutting plane. Typically the centroid of the original part.
 * : The direction in the Base View for this section. Options:, , , or.

Vistas

 * : Solid color for surface highlight. Used if is set to.
 * : Show/hide the cut surface.


 * : The color of the Geometric hath pattern.
 * : The color of the Svg hatch pattern.
 * : Hatch the cut surface.
 * : Line weight of the Geometric hatch pattern.

Properties Base View
A Section view inherits all applicable properties of the view specified as. In the properties of this view you can change the appearance of the section line:


 * : The section line color.
 * : The section line style.

The default settings for these parameters are set via the settings Section Line and Section Line Style in the TechDraw preferences.

Notas

 * Section Line Format: two section line formats are supported (as depicted above) and controlled by the Preference setting "Section Line Standard" on the Annotation tab. The option uses "pulling arrows" (known as the "traditional format" in some areas) and the  option uses "pushing arrows" (also known as the "reference arrow format").
 * Fuse Before Cut: the section operation sometimes fails to cut the source shapes. If Fuse Before Cut is true, the source shapes are merged into a single shape before the section operation is attempted. If you encounter problems with the section operation, try flipping this value.
 * Trim After Cut: the section cut operation sometimes leaves behind a portion of the source shape. If Trim After Cut is true, an additional cut operation is performed on the result of the first cut which should remove any unwanted pieces.
 * Cut Surface Display: the cut surface can be hidden, painted in a solid color, hatched using an Svg pattern (default) or hatched using a PAT pattern. See Hatching.
