Section Views
Autodesk Inventor can create a full, half, offset, or removed section view from
a base view. The crosshatching, section line, and labels are placed
automatically.
You can also use the Section Views tool to create a view projection line for an
auxiliary or partial view. By default, a section view is aligned to its base view.
Press and hold CTRL as you position the section view to place it without
alignment.
The section line arrowheads on the base view automatically orient to reflect
the position of the section view relative to the base view. You can reverse the
direction by dragging the view, or by editing it later.
You can also display multi segmented section lines by clicking the section
line and disabling the Show Entire Line option in the right-click context menu.
Edit section view labels at any time by right-clicking the section view and
choosing Edit View.
Defining Section Views
Use the Section Views tool to define a projection line for a section view. You
can hover the cursor over view geometry to infer the position or orientation
