Changed Cross Section Plane?

[ptc-680841]

Is it possible to change the plane of a Planar Cross Section in a part in Wildfire 3? I would guess that this is possible, but having some trouble finding where I make the change ... Any ideas? Andy B.

No, as far as I know you cannot change the plane of a cross section.

But if you redefine the datum it's on to be a distance from something,
you could change the distance.

Correct. But, if the cross section were created on one of the default datums it cant be moved. Looks like this can not be done, so the section must be deleted and recreated.
Bigger fish to fry ... moving on.
Thanks everyone!

A good practice is to always create a new datum for your sections. I
normally rename them SECT_A, SECT_B, etc.



You can even change the reference that the datum is offset from and the
section will follow. If it's on a default, yeah, you're stuck
recreating.
