View > Section 1

[kevklem]

In Modeling, using View > Operation > Section, I would like to place the dynamic CSYS at the arc center of a cylindrical assembly and then use the handle bar to spin the sectioning plane. I click the origin of the CSYS which activates the Snap Point menu, select an arc center and the CSYS flashes to the spot and then returns to the previous spot. Is there a different way to locate the dynamic csys in this function?

Thanks,

Kevin

Before selecting the arc center, toggle the 'Move All Planes' button (the one that shows a couple chain links). Then the entire plane itself will be moved not just aligned with the point that you selected.
