DesignSeries00024.pngSection Line Instances

Section line instances associated with a section viewport can be added to or deleted from design layers or viewport annotations. In addition, the Section Line Instances dialog box provides an easy way to navigate from a section viewport to its associated section lines.

Section lines are created for vertical sections, but not horizontal sections.

To edit section line instances or navigate to a section line:

  1. Select the section viewport whose section line you want to navigate to or edit.

  2. Click Section Line Instances from the Object Info palette.

  3. The Section Line Instances dialog box opens.

  4. To add another instance of the section line to a different design layer or to the annotation for a different viewport, click on the column next to that design layer or viewport, and then click OK. Alternatively, to remove a section line instance from a layer or viewport, click the checked column (which removes the check mark), and then click OK.

  5. Deleting all section line instances does not delete the section viewport, and new instances can be created at any time. However, deleting a section viewport deletes all section line instances.

  6. The section line instances can also be used as a navigation tool to access a particular section line. Select the design layer or viewport where the section line instance is located, and click Activate to switch to the section line location; the section line is selected for any modifications.

To return from a section line instance to the associated section viewport, click Navigate to Section Viewport from the Object Info palette of a selected section line.
