Create Section Viewport |
● View ● Context menu |
An unlinked (orphan) section line is disconnected from its associated section viewport, possibly because the section line was pasted from a copy, duplicated, or mirrored. Not Linked is displayed in Section Viewport on the Shape tab of the Object Info palette, and a red unlinked icon displays next to the section line.
Duplicated section lines retain the settings and attributes of the parent section line.
Vertical section viewports can be created from unlinked section lines located on a design layer, sheet layer, or while in edit annotation mode.
To create a section viewport from one or more unlinked section lines:
Select the unlinked section lines. If on a sheet layer, include the viewport to be sectioned in the selection set.
Each selected section line creates a new section viewport.
Select the command, or click Create Section Viewport on the Object Info palette.
The Create Section Viewport dialog box opens (see Creating a Vertical Section Viewport). If multiple unlinked section lines were selected, the parameters specified apply to all section viewports created.
Click OK to create a section viewport for each selected section line.
