(1) active view, (2) sketch, (3) cut-out floor, (4) cut-out

If the sketch lies in the screen plane, the cut-out is directed from the specified point to the viewer; if not, it is directed from the point to the sketch plane. If the point lies in the sketch plane, the cut-out is created in Z-direction of the sketch.

Important notes on cut-outs

• The active view must not be an opened sectional view or a surface sectional view. Only standard views or "standard" sectional views are permitted.
• The active view can have several cut-outs.
• The settings of the Hatch section view + cut-out function (RMB > Properties ...) may be used when displaying the section surfaces.
• You can set the display of the bounding edges for cut-outs in the system file ANSGEN.DAT:

Cut-Out borders (layer, thickness, colour, type) (1 1 3 1)

1 1 3 1

• A part's section behaviour, which you use the Cut in sectional view + cut-out festlegen.
• After transformation of a 3-D model, the cut-outs can be adjusted automatically. To do this, select Drawing > Extras > Tools, then choose one of the following options:
• Recalculate cut-outs, sectional and detail views (only active view)
• Recalculate cut-outs, sectional and detail views (all views)
