Adding arrows to a half section.

I have been able to create a half section by using the 2D cross-section>Half sectioned area but I can't seem to get a broken section line in the referance view. Will CREO not do this or am I missing something?

CREO parametric 3.0

Thanks for any help.

I think you want an offset cross-section and not a half section. You have to build the offset x-section in the model, ie sketch the cutting plane.

Oh, also, the side view is unfolded.

Hi Andy,

I want to bubble this to the top for you so other users can take another look. I haven't had a chance to test this but at first glance, I don't expect an option for this. You will likely need to create this manually.

Although it should be possible to meet standards, I haven't found it in Creo/WF/or Pro-E. The best we can do is manually drag the second arrow to the middle and call it good.

This is what I'd like to see the arrows do...

Andy,

I am not sure if I understood your question ...

What about this ?

I think the closest we can come to the standard is this:

    Thanks for the help everyone. I was able to use the section in the model to achive the results I was looking for. It had been a while since I used the sectioning tool in the model it's self.
