Is it possible to create a sketch from 3D sectional view creo?

Hi Creo users,

 

I have a 3D model part and I have created a sectional view (still in part mode i.e. View- Section- X Direction).

 

Can I create a sketch (.sec) out of the sectional view I created above?

 

Your input would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

 

Sandy

Ah, OK. So it's a bit of misunderstanding. What I (and everybody else too, I think) meant, was that after you create section and curve from section, you create a sketch feature using the same plane as section's plane. Then, inside the sketch, use Project tool from the Sketching group to project the curve from section into the sketch.
When you do that, select File > Save As > Save a Copy and save a copy of the sketch to disk.

Hello Sandy.

 

You can create a curve from a section and project the contour (or part of it) into a sketch. And if you handle the references right, it will update the geometry right. To provide the curves from one part to another, you can use copied curves or better copy geometry. It depends on top down strategy or independent usage.

 

Hope that helps

Cheers

Hi Marco,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

I will have to think about what you wrote a bit more. It does not seem to be a straight forward thing from what you wrote.

 

Thank you

Sandy

Hi Sandy, 

 

Assuming the plane you wish to sketch on is the same plane that is creating the x-section, could you not use the Intersect tool to create intersection curve using the plane and the body, then once a Sketch is created on the plane use Project > Loop selecting the curve generated from the Intersect?

Thank you Cormack,

 

What I had to do is instead Project -> Loop and select the curve (from the model tree) , I had to select the cross section from the 3D model instead.

 

Thank you for your suggestion.
