about sections in drawings

Hi to everybdy,
I have written you many times and your advice was always very useful for
me.the question is very simple.I'd like to know how creating a section with
planes consecutive and intersected each other.i hope that someone will
reply me.

P.S: of course i'm using to Pro/E WF 2.0

 

The type of section you are trying to create is called an Offset section. To
create one, you basically sketch a cut plane on some sketching plane using any
geometry (planes, axes, vertices, surfaces) for sketcher references. Or, the thing
can be completely free handed through the part/assembly. But, if you want to cut
through the middle of a cylindrical feature, say, you'd better use an axis:
appropriate reference geometry for the zig-zaggy offset section you are trying to
cut.

 

sorry Mr Janes,but i didn't understand how putting the Sections
planes...Can you be much more clearer?I thank you so much ,
Edoardo

 

Sorry, Sr Fiorani, no section planes, non quello!
Go to 'View>View Manager>Xsec>New>Offset', pick a planar surface to sketch on and
sketch your cut "plane". And it need not be a planar cut, composed of straight
sketched geometry. You could sketch arcs, as long as the cutting geometry starts
and ends at or off the part boundary.

 

but i can't understand the way of drawing the ziggi-zag section line.if I'm
in 3d ,Should the option "use sketcher 2d" under the TOOLS> ENVIROMENT be
unable ???
I have a big trouble.....but i have the sensation that something is
missing.....

After you pick a plane or planar surface to sketch on, the sketch plane should
reorient to be parallel with the screen, just as it does any other time you
sketch. (If it doesn't reorient, go to 'View>Orientation>Sketch orientation'.)
Remember, you are sketching the edge of the knife that will cut into the part. To
one side of that knife line, material will be removed and when you tip the cutaway
toward you, you'll see inside the part.
