When you create drawing views using the model documentation tools in AutoCAD, relevant layers with
an MD_ prefix are automatically added to the drawing. If you rename the layers or change layer
properties, those changes are automatically applied to existing as well as subsequent drawing views
created in the same drawing.
Section Views
Create a section view from an existing drawing view by picking points to define the section line. A
context-sensitive ribbon tab provides easy access to Section View Creation tools, including depth and
hatch controls.
A section identifier is automatically applied and incremented as you create subsequent section views, or
you can override it with your own identifier. You can also choose to display a view label identifying the
section and scale.
You can control whether individual model components participate in the section using the Edit
Components tool on the Layout ribbon tab. If the selected components are set to None, the components
display without being sectioned. The participation of components is passed to child views projected
from the section view.
You can also specify if the section view should include the full depth or just a slice.
