Obtaining a section view from a broken view in NX5

[lurks]

I am trying to obtain a section view from a broken view. It is telling me that I have chosen an invalid view. Am I trying to do something that is not able to be done?

Thanks in advance,

Lurks

I've certainly never been able to this in NX4 and I think the same goes for NX5, I'm sure John will clarify this for you.

Best regards

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

This is a known bug. You can create the section view from a non-broken view which could be from another drawing sheet and moved to your current drawing.

Running cad straight out of the box is OK but, a system tuned with application software is the best way to increase productivity.

I'm not sure that this could be considered a 'bug' since I suspect that creating an actual section view from an existing broken view is NOT something that is supported by any of the various Drafting Standards.

I am not sure what drafting standard that John is referring to that discourages a section of a view that is broken.
See attachment for details. Section view created by taking a section cut on a reference drawing sheet and moving it to the current drawing.

I didn't say that there was a Standard which 'discouraged' it, but rather I just said I wasn't sure if this was 'supported' by any standard. Granted, this might seem like a minor point, but our philosophy is to support what the standards explicitly describe, and not assume that if something is not mentioned that it's automatically included.
