During generating a section view, ugly thick line is generated. How to correct that? If there are some way to fix the problem permanantly, plz, let me know. Thank you.

Look at your Drafting Standards. In this file you can control the line thickness and line type of the Section Arrows (note: is it your Section Arrow you are talking about? or is it something else?)
 
Thank you for your reply.
However, I mean not the Section Arrows. If I install a bunch of bolts using Reused Pattern, I wanna see the section view of the area installed the bolts. After section cut, some lines of the bolts are so much thick.TT
Have you ever get the ugly lines?
Thank you.
 
How big are the areas? I have seen this when the area being cut does not show a complete Pattern for the Area Fill for the area. It is supposed to indicate to you (I think), that you have this situation. Try scaling the hatching down for this section (although selecting the area fill in question is a little difficult some times).
 
catiajim is correct in what is happening here I run across it quite often.
Use the up arrow key while over the area fill in question this will bring up the sort selection feature which will give you a list of what is available.
 
Thank you.
Catiajim is correct.^^. It's very helpful.
But, why IBM do not correct the bug...??
The work treating the lines is, I think, time bug.
 
I suspect that if you submitted a PMR, DS would come back with "Works as designed". I believe that this is a "feature" that is trying to tell you that there is a problem with your area fill.
