Part V: Creating Drawings


FIGURE 21.7

Aligning a line in a Section View sketch


You can also use jogged section lines with the default section tool. Similar sketch relation tech-
niques are more common in jogged sections because there are more sketched lines. The results are
shown in Figure 21.8.

You can also tell a Section View how deep you want the section view to see into the part. In the
PropertyManager of the Section View, you can set a depth with a number or you can select a face,
edge, or vertex to determine the depth. When you select the check box at the top of the Section
Depth panel, a graphic handle becomes available on the drawing view, which enables you to visu-
ally drag the depth as well. This functionality is shown in Figure 21.9.
