Create a 90 degree section cut

[fzvnpg]

I need to create a section view (in modeling) only instead of all through but a 90 degree cut(like other cad systems offer). I have an assembly which would like to show the cut half way thru in "X" and half thru in "Y" thus showing 3/4 of the assembly. Is this possible in NX 11?????

thanks

Ok sorry in a second look I see that the right
dialog is the correct one
So go to the right dialog (in your picture)

And choose the icon for sketching
and sketch a rectangle and use the extrude prameters
To define the keep remove volume
and then chose the components to operate on

Sorry I'm using nx85 and its difficult to guess
how it in nx11

In nx8.5 the dialog is as your right dialog
But in its top has a select objects command
and in yours I don't see it.

Do you can get the right dialog directly
without using the Left dialog ?

Sorry in my screens I see no [highlight #FCE94F]options for sketch[/highlight] option in NX11...

You have but its dimmed
its right near the select curves with the green v
In your picture before the select curves icon

You need someone that use nx11

Its in the red ellipse in your picture.
but I don't know why it is dimmed.

FYI.


The pre NX11 PMI Section View command is in NX11 called "Section View(Legacy)"
It is not included in the out of the box user interface, nor is it found using
Command Finder. You need to use menu Customize function and search for
"section view" to find it and add it to your current menu.
As "Section View(Legacy)" in NX11 have the same functionality as Section View
command had in NX10, you can use it to, for instance, define a stepped section.

That's not the first time things moved.

I don't know why. But I think its a software
organization matter.
