Thanks to Peter as he pointed me in the right direction.
Original question----- As I continue to look for the proper way to put a
general view in which I would like to put a cross section of an assembly on
a drawing, maybe someone could tell me how.
Peters suggestion...
Need to create a Zone type X-Section, Need a datum plane for the zone
definition going through the plane to cut with, and select the half type
zone.
This creates a 3-D X Section that will be available in the general view.
Hope that helps....
Here is what I did.
How to create it.
First I put a general view on my drawing in the orientation that I wanted.
Then I went to my assembly and created a new section. Instead of picking
Planer as normally thought of for sections you must choose the Zone option.
Now Pro wants you to select Planer references defining your Zone. You can
get very creative with this as Pro will allow you to select up to 6 datum
planes to define your zone. I only needed one as it was the same as I had
previously defined as a simple section. I had to flip my arrows with the
button in the window and then accept my definition.
I went back to my drawing redefined the view to add a section and now the 3D
section option was available, and my newly created cross section was there
as a choice.
And I was done.
