To Create a Full Section View

A full section view is generated by running the cutting plane through the entire length of the object being sectioned.

1. Click Layout tab Create View panel Section drop-down Full . Find
2. Click the view you want to use as the parent view. The start direction arrow appears at the cursor.
3. Click in the drawing area to indicate the start point of the section line. The end direction arrow appears at the cursor.

• Use object snaps, object snap tracking, ortho and polar tracking to specify the location of the section line precisely.
• If the CONSTRAINTINFER system variable is 1, the section line is automatically constrained to the parent view.

Tip: You can modify the properties of the section view using the Section View Creation ribbon contextual tab.

Tip: The preview is constrained to move in a direction perpendicular to the section line. To relax the constraint, tap SHIFT. To restore the constraint, tap SHIFT again.
