Looking for a good way to reproduce a company standard drawing. We produce generators the items are cylindrical. In the past there is typically a plan view and each quadrant of the machine is cut to a certain height. For example one quadrant could show the bearing portion the next quadrant would show the bracket and the third quadrant shows the rotor spider. In the past these were drawn by in ideas by hand. Now we have 3D models and this should be an easy thing to do. My initial thought was to do the reverse and take a side view and add 4 section views. Make these sections align by the center line and manually change the view boarders to only show a quarter of each section. Not sure how easy this will be to align.Is there any other methods of doing this feat? I have not had much luck with the breakout feature. We are running NX 10.

Thanks
