Quick Section View
Description
This app creates a half section view in 1 or 2 clicks.
It works the same way for both assembly and part modeling environments. A single button has multiple uses:
1. Just press the button and get a section view through one of the origin workplanes. The workplane is automatically selected depending on how you look at the model.
2. Press the same button to end the section view.
3. Preselect part or assembly occurrence and then press the button to get a section view through one of the occurrence origin workplanes.
4. Preselect circular or conical face (circular edge) to get a section view through the axis.
5. Preselect a straight edge to get a section view perpendicular to the edge through the center point.
6. Preselect a workplane or planar face to get a normal half-section view.
7. Holding "SHIFT" and click on app button starts a native Autodesk® Inventor® half section view command. Then release "SHIFT". This way you can drag a section across the model.
PLEASE NOTE:
Without preselection, the app works only with origin workplanes which are selected automatically!
Improves upon the workflow of the native section view tool.
We rely on the out-of-the box section tool very heavily untiil we found this little app. Artem's Quick Section add-in takes it to another level. Just one or two picks (counting the the click on the actual button) and just like magic you have a section of your assembly or component. Way quicker than the traditional tool.
Great job Artem!!!
The best app very good!
Easy section by cylinder without additional plane.
Quite handy tool, well done!
