I have a ring shaped straight bevel gear with a regular pattern of threaded holes to mount it. All is needed in order to detail it in drawing, is a longitudinal section and a quarter section (to dimension angular pitch between holes). In my case, half a section would be incorrect (generally in tech drawing information redundancy or larger than necessary views are not allowed).
The only options for sections are: Full, Half, Partial, Broken, but I need to cut a quarter, the equivalent of half-sectioning twice, drawing the appropriate axes of symmetry (for this reason I cannot use Partial or Broken).
Any workaround?
 
You need to set it up in the model, not the drawing.

Assuming you have the cut plane where you want it, you need to set the x section as an offset instead of planar.

You then sketch the cut on the plane. You'll get the idea when you have a go yourself. Its pretty self explanatory.
