Detailed view sectioned while view it's taken from is not.

There may be a simpler way to do this. If so, enlighten me.

I am making a detailed view (actually of a detialed view - but I digress).

I would like to make detailed view B to be sectioned (showing cross hatching) through the centerline of the screw but I can't seem to do this.

But I can make a general view, but it then doesn't have the detailed view circle.

Thanks,

    Since the detail view is just a scaled up area of the original view, you will have to add the cross section to the original view (in your case, the view where detail A comes from. Make it a LOCAL cross section (breakout) so it only shows up in the area you need it and not the entire view.

      Is there then a way to turn it off in either the parent view &/or Detail A?

      Nope, since it's a real detail view, you are stuck with it coming from the original view.
