Sheet Metal > Sheet development > Extras >From sectional view

You use this function to generate a dimensioned 2-D view from a 3-D sectional view.

1. Derive a 3-D section from your sheet part using the Sectional view function (Views tab, see HiCAD 3-D).
2. Activate the From sectional view function.
3. Select a designation for the 2-D view and the distance for the go-side line.
4. If required, activate the Including front side checkbox if you want the go-side to be displayed on the front side as well.
5. If required, also activate the Angular dimension checkbox and close the dialogue window with OK.
6. Then, identify the go-side from the 3-D section.

The 2-D view is displayed with dimensioning at the cursor.

5. Specify a fitting point in the drawing.

(1) Sheet part
(2) Front view of the sheet part
(3) Go-side in the 3-D sectional view

(4) Go-side including front side
(5) Dimensioned 2-D view

Use the SYS/ABWCOL.DAT file to specify the parameters for the coating surface (go-side) .

2 = layer, 4 = colour, 1 = line width, 3 = line type. The parameters will be applied when HiCAD is re-started.
