SECTION VIEW
Section View
The section view, arrow view and local area view are necessary detailing elements of a drawing. T-FLEX
CAD system provides full range of functionalities for satisfying this requirement.
Creating Section View
The command for section view creation, “SE: Create Section” can be called as follows:
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Draw|Section”
Upon calling the command, you will get access to the following set of options:
Set Section Lines Parameters
Create two point Section
Create multiple point section
Create Arrow View
Create View
Select Attachment Node
Change View Direction
Execute Edit Command
Exit command
Next, select the type of the section view to create: a simple (two-point) section, a multiple-point section, an
arrow view or a view notation.
Two-Point Section
Two-point section creation begins with selecting two attachment points. Those can be defined either in the
absolute coordinates or snapped to 2D nodes. Move the pointer to the desired position and click . As the
pointer approaches 2D nodes, the object snapping activates, highlighting the nodes. Assign the second
attachment point similarly. The preview of the element being created updates dynamically with your
manipulations. Next (refer to the third diagram from the left), you need to define the offset of the view
notation arrows from the attachment points. Do this by positioning the pointer appropriately. To fix the
position, click . The result is shown on the right-most diagram.
