detailing - cutout in welded assy to see interior

[hspaulding]

I'm trying to remember what this is called to no avail.

I have a drawing of an assembly. In the top view I want to show the interior in more detail by hsving a sketched hole in the top plate. We used to do this in the OLD DAYS, drawing a splined sketched hole and the interior would be drawing solid instead of dashed.

How is this done in Creo 3.0 M10?

Thanks in advance!

That can be done with a "partial section view." You would first need to
establish where your section plane would be (in the part, or assembly) for
viewing purposes. Make sure that you place the section plane in the best
position to capture the visibility of components that you are looking for.



On the drawing it is just a matter of enabling the section for the view that
you want. This is where you can use your spline for a partial section view.

Name cross section where you want the breakout section. Make

this in the model. Then, in the drawing, create a view where this section will be

parallel to the screen. In the section type, pick Local, pick a point for the

center of the breakout, sketch a spline as the boundary for the breakout. Click OK

and you're done.

It just took me a while to find it and figure it out. I haven't done this since probably version 18.

Thanks to any and all that helped me kickstart the old brain.
