Can this be done? Can you create a simplified rep. of a part that shows it in cross section? I have an assembly where I would like one part only to show up sectioned so I can balloon the components inside. I don't want to section the whole thing... too ugly.

Chris, When you create a new simp rep in the part, use the Work Region method from the menu manager. It'll walk you through creating a cut (appearrs only in the simp rep).

Thanks Hatim, I did that. Works nicely. Unfortunately (here we go) I was hoping to show one cut in my top view, and a different cut in a side view. The only way to have different reps in different views is to make all the views independant of each other (general) and make sure they are aligned... which then DETACHES all but the first view from the repeat region of my BOM... making it impossible to show balloons on those views, thereby defeating the purpose. Thanks for the help, I know what I have to do now,.. just don't like it much.
