Section of a Section

[Hijey]

Hello

For a big assembly I try to do a section of a section, but surprise I obtain a quarter of my assembly. How can I do to obtain a complet section which cut-lines are based on first section.
Excuse for my poor English

[John Scheffel]

I'm don't really understand the question. If you cut something in half with section line, then cut that section view in half with another section line, I would expect to get a quarter. It might help if you can attach some screen shots or images of what you are trying to do.

[Hijey]

Ok excuse me I've joined a document to explain my problem

[andrea]

the following modification in the am_customize this line:

:docu_cutaways_visible_in_dependant_views 'NO


OK ??

[Hijey]

yes thanks I will try to modify the am_customize

[Hijey]

No good result. The last view is the same

[andrea]

you have closed and reopened the program?
you must recreate the section. ok?

[Hijey]

The good parameter is

:docu_only_last_section_visible_in_dependant_views 'NO

When I search I find ;-)

Thank you for answers

I wonder - will this setting make it so that cut-aways don't show up in other views besides the cut-away view?

Currently, if you make a cut-away view, that cut-away will show up in other views, too, as I recall.

You would want to set these to no. They will then work if you create a new section, or cutaway view. They do not fix existing views. If new views are not correct, then you have other issues and should contact support.

Also make sure that you are not over riding any settings with your am_customize file.

To fix an existing view, you must right click on it and manually change the settings.

Solution found!
Add setting directly on the profile

I have edited this file: am_customize

I have added ah the varius docu-register-view-exception-profile

This setting:
:visible-cutaway-mode :no
:visible-section-mode :yes

Like this:

(docu-register-view-exception-profile
:name "Section"
:label "Section"
:minimum-number-of-parts 0
:maximum-number-of-parts 999999
:view-type :section
:update-mode :classic
:econofast :off
:associativity-2d :full
:pressfit-handling :off
:clash-recognition :off
:update-view-immediately :on
:remove-small-parts 0
:remove-library-parts :off
:remove-full-circles 0
:remove-duplicate-hidden-lines :on
:thread-creation :on
:centerline-creation :on
:symmetryline-creation :on
:hidden-line-visible :off
:tangent-line-visible :on
:visible-cutaway-mode :no
:visible-section-mode :yes
)

It works great! ;)
It seems also to me this are a not documented setting

[tom kirkman]

Also make sure that you are not over riding any settings with your am_customize file.


I am glad you checked your am_customize file. You can remove these lines and just have the general settings do the same thing.

[Shaba]

I don't know exacly why, and where was the problem
But if i only edit general settings doesn't work (and i trye several times)
Editing also view profile on am_customize it works
I hope this can help someone

:visible-cutaway-mode:
:visible-section-mode:

If these were set in your profile, they over ride the settings menu. You can leave these out of the profile and the settings menu will work.

Here are my settings. I just have the basic settings that I require and allow the general settings from the settings menu to handle the rest.

;; *** Set section view profile ***
(docu-register-view-exception-profile
:name "Section"
:label "Section"
:minimum-number-of-parts 0
:maximum-number-of-parts 999999
:view-type :section
:centerline-creation :parent
:symmetryline-creation :parent
:hidden-line-visible :off
:tangent-line-visible :parent
)

I hope this helps.
