Drafting Question

Greetings,

Totally non-Creo. Tapping your drafting skills.

I have wondered from time to time. Perhaps it is written?

Please see attached.

If AA is a section and a view BB is taken from a section - can the view be shown in full or does one assume its partial?

Thanks,

Wayne

I would call it "poor practice" to create a view (or section view) from an view that is a cross section itself.

I also would say I do it all the time, it's poor practice but I'm good with it.

I have never seen a view shown "partially" because it was taken from an x-section view.

If you feel it needs to be partial, make sure you sketch your break so it's obvious it's broken away (not a straight line)

Ya....

It's an oddball.

It was a request. I did not care to do it. So I questioned it. We are not going this route now.

We are doing something else that I also don't agree with....but...whatever...

Thanks Steve
