Set Section Object Properties
Section objects have properties like other AutoCAD objects. Properties are
stored in the section line and can be accessed in the Properties Inspector.
For each section object, you can change the name, layer, and linetype. You
can also change the color and transparency of the section plane indicator (the
cutting plane).
Associate Section Objects with Named Views
Associate section objects with named views.
When you activate a named view that has an associated section object, live
sectioning is turned on for that section object. For a 3D model with multiple
section objects, you might want to associate a particular section object to a
view. Later, you can restore a saved sectional view and activate live sectioning
for the associated section object.
For example, you can set up two section objects that cut through the 3D model
in different directions. Section object A cuts the model along its width; Section
object B cuts the model along its length. Perhaps you want to view the sectional
cut that is perpendicular to your line of sight. By associating each section
object with a view, you can quickly switch between the two views and see the
desired cross section.
Save and Publish Section Objects
Save a section object as a block or publish it.
Save Sections as Blocks or Drawings
Save the representation of the cross-sectional area where a section object
intersects a 3D model as a block.
Save Sections as Blocks or Drawings
You can save the section objects you create as blocks. Working from the
Generate Section/Elevation dialog box, you can choose the type of block that
is created.
