2-D X-section thru solids and quilts?

Hi to all,

I'm using Pro/E 2001, and I'm trying to create a 2-D cross-section of
an assembly through my solid Pro/E file and some imported surface IGES
files that my part goes around.

When I cut a cross-section in my assembly, I have the option to cut
through the model and quilts, where the section through the surfaces
is outlined in yellow but not cross-hatched, which is OK. In the
assembly, I can view these outlines of these surfaces.

However, when I try to place these views in a 2-D drawing, the
cross-section seems to remove the quilts and the cross-section
outline. It only shows the solid part cross-hatched.

I'm trying not to have to turn these IGES files into solids to get
this to work.

Is there any way to display these cross-sections through the quilted
surfaces in 2-D drawing mode? Do I have to switch to Wildfire to get
this to work?

Thanks for any replies.

I don't think you can display crosshatching for quilted surfaces.
The quilted surface is hollow, it has no thickness.

 

Thanks for all of the suggestions and replies.

FYI, I ended up spending the time stitching up the IGES files and
turning them into solids so that the 2-D sections looked right.
