    i must change my cut line. initially a single line for a partial cut. now i
    need to see the rest of the piece but uncutted. so i had a seconf line
    perpendicular with the first one. but i doesn't change the view. i don't
    want redo all the works for annotations, dimensionning on the first half.

    any solutions will be useful.

    To edit the section cut You need to edit the sketch in which You have the
    line.....right click the section line and pick " edit sketch".....then redo
    it, and after that, highlight the entire line and to have this change affect
    the view You need to rebuild. Hope this is what You're looking for

    I don't know if I understood You right ...but You need to have the two (or
    three) lines connected ...otherwise it won't work

  7. If you make a derived configuration and suppress the cut you will see the
    cut as it was in the origional view and in a new view that references the
    new config you will see the part prior to the cut. The only problem that
    may arise is if you have features after the cut that reference the cut which
    you need in the view without the cut.

    Another way of doing this is to use a split line that would create 2 bodies
    and you can still see the split line. Watch out for mass properties when
    using this method though. You can then add a delete body feature that can
    be suppressed and unsuppressed this way you could still reference the cut
    and show what was cut off.

    I hope that helps
