Add section marks in drawings

You can add section marks in an open drawing.

  1. Open a drawing.
  2. On the Annotations tab, hold down Shift and click Section mark.
  3. In Section Mark Properties, set the cutting line properties and select a color for the line.
  4. On the Section mark tab, set the contents and the appearance of the section mark.
  5. Click OK or Apply.
  6. Pick the first and the second point on the cut plane.

    Create as many section marks as you need.

  7. Press Esc to interrupt.
Tip:

Manually created section marks can be:

  • Copied using Ctrl+drag

  • Copied inside a drawing view with the context menu commands Copy > Linear and Copy > Linear..., the ribbon command Copy, or by entering Copy - Linear in Quick Launch. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C.

  • Moved using Shift+drag

  • Moved inside a drawing view with the context menu command Move > Linear, the ribbon command Move, or by entering Move - Linear in Quick Launch. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M.

Section marks can only be copied or moved within a view. When moved beyond the view frame, the view frame will adjust so that the section mark will always be within the frame.
