Creating a section view and cutting plane line in AutoCAD.

[@RedValentine47]

Thanks a lot...I had problems of doing section view in 2015 since I m a beginner. This helped a lot..

Great tutorial that touches upon several aspects. Thank you!

DUDE, thank you so much This was super helpful

[@jazzdrummer2000]

I like the idea off using the leader to create the arrows for the cutting plane. That will save me some time. Thanks!

[@samithegreat7840]

I agree, that was clever.

THANK U SO MUCH

[@samithegreat7840]

Thanks! Do you not need a centerline though on your section view? Also, does the arrow face the part you are actually keeping vs. the part you are eliminating?

[@METtutorials]

You do not necessarily need a centerline, but you can include one if you wish. The arrows show the direction of sight, so yes they will face the portion of the drawing that is shown in the section view.

thanks , it was really useful

[@genesisjara3653]

I know there was a section plane command but I don't remember how to get it. Perhaps they took it off the new version. :'(

No videos of you drawing it first?

[@Corral1998]

Or any videos you can recommend for help with the drawing itself?

[@METtutorials]

I did not make a video of drawing this particular part, no. The focus of the video is strictly on a method for creating a section view from an orthographic projection.
