ViewSectionStyle

New

Creates a new view detail style as a copy of the currently selected style.

Delete

Removes the selected style from the drawing.

Identifier

Sets the properties of the section identifier:

Color - specifies the color of the identifier:

1. Click the droplist

2. Choose a color swatch from the list, or else choose Select Color to get access to a lot more colors

Text Style - specifies the text style used by the identifier text:

1. Click the droplist

2. Choose the name of a text style

To employ a different text style, use the Style command to create it.

Height - specifies the height of the identifier:

1. Click the droplist

2. Choose one of the preset heights, or else type in a different value

Offset - specifies the distance from the end of the cut lines to the arrow; enter a distance.

Position - determines where the identifiers are located:

• End of cutting plane - places the identifiers at the ends of the cutting lines
• Above direction line - outside the detail's boundary and draws a leader from the parent view to the detail; ; no symbol is used
• On boundary - on the detail's boundary
• On boundary with leader - places the identifier on the detail's boundary and draws a leader from the parent view to the detail

Arrows

Sets the properties of the section arrows:

• Show direction arrows - toggles the display of the arrows
• Start Symbol - specifies the look of the start symbol
• Color - specifies the color of the arrow
• End Symbol - specifies the look of the end symbol
• Size - specifies the size of the arrow
• Arrow direction - points the arrow towards or away from the cutting line
• Extension length - determines the length of the "dimension" line on the arrows

Hatch

Sets the properties of the section hatching:

• Pattern - choose a pattern name from the droplist
• Browse - displays the Hatch Pattern Palette dialog box, from which you choose a pattern visually
• Angles - sets the angle for the pattern, one angle for subsequent cuts; the first angle in the list is applied to the first solid, the second angle to the second, and so on. When there are more solids to cut than angles listed, then the program starts again from the first angle. See figure below.
• New - adds angles to the list; displays the New Hatch Angle dialog box, in which you enter an angle
• Delete - deletes the selected angle from the list
• Scale - specifies the scale of the pattern
• Color - specifies the color of the pattern

Cutting Plane | Plane Lines

Sets the properties of the cutting plane lines:

• Show plane lines - toggles the display of the lines
• Lineweight - specifies the weight of the lines
• Color - specifies the color of the lines
• Linetype - specifies the pattern of the lines

Cutting Plane | End and Bend Lines

Sets the properties of the end and bend lines:

• Show end and bend lines - toggles the display of the lines
• Bend line length - specifies the distance the bend line offsets from one cut line to another
• End line overshoot - specifies the distance from the section to the end of the plane line
• End line length - specifies the length of the end lines
• Lineweight - specifies the weight of the lines
• Color - specifies the color of the lines
• Linetype - specifies the pattern of the lines
