Section view at certain depth

[gsejrmech]

I have two questions,
1. I m trying to generate a section view at a certain depth in CATDrawing. How to come about?
2. Can I also rotate the view irrespective of the main view from where its been generated, in other words can the link be broken from the main view to manipulate the position of the views as desired.

gsejrmech-

1) Build a sketch in plan view of the section line you would like to cut. In drafting, pick on section cut icon, go to 3d and pick your sketch, go back to 2d and place your section.

2)To rotate your section, contextual menu the section --> Properties --> Angle change this to rotate view

Derek,
thank you, I never knew you could do that as I am new to it. One more thing I wanted to ask was can you also break the link of a view from its main view so you can position it as you want.

Irfan, You can break the link, right click your mouse over the section cut to bring up the contextual menu --> View Positioning --> Position Independently of Reference View

Derek,

Man you must be thinking WOW thats dumb. Thank you, it was so easy, guess should have played around more. Where did you get your trainig from if you did any, I want to pursue from a decent institute. I am in NY/ong Island area. Or any book you want to refer, that'd be helpful too.

Thanks again

You can also get training through MSC Software, or Incat. Both will come to where you are, for the right price and enrollment.
