Change Sectional Views

Views > Edit > Change sectional view

To make subsequent changes to a sectional view, proceed as follows:

Select the Change sectional view function. The Change sectional view dialogue window is displayed. The window is largely similar to the New sectional view window, except that it has no Sketch icons. This means that you cannot select or define a new sketch for the sectional view. You can only change the existing sketch for the section path using the Sketch functions.
Change the sketch for the section path, if required. Depending on which function is activated, this is highlighted either in the sectional view or in the original view.
If required, make further changes in the Change sectional view window.
If you want to reverse the viewing direction, activate the corresponding checkbox.
Click Create to adopt the changes.

Laterally limited sectional views are, in principle, detail views. You therefore use the Change detail view function to modify the lateral limitation of a sectional view. This function displays the automatically created limiting frame as a sketch. You can change this sketch subsequently, i.e. move or rotate it.

If you want to change the identifiers of all sectional views of the model drawing, use the Change sectional view identifier, All function in the pull-down menu to change the identifiers of all sectional views in the drawing.

You will find the function in the pull-down menu of the Change sectional view function.

Please note:

Alternatively, you can access the Change sectional view function in a context menu that you open by right-clicking on the view frame.
In addition, further functions for sectional views are available in various context menus. You open these context menus by right-clicking on the caption, the annotation, the designation or the direction symbol of a sectional view.
