\"Auto-startSection View Assist<\/em> automatically comes up when you start the Section View<\/strong> tool without preselecting a sketch.\u00a0 Section View Assist<\/em> allows you to create very complex section views very quickly.\u00a0 It also allows you to make\u00a0the simplist section views faster than before, without the need to draw sketches on your drawing view.\u00a0\u00a0 Included in the new tool is the ability to shortcut the creation of simple\u00a0section views even more!<\/p>\n

If you do not use more complex section view cutting lines very often, you can by-pass the Section View Pop-up<\/em> by checking the “Auto-start section view” setting.\u00a0 This will allow you to place the cutting line and then immediately place your section view.\u00a0 The setting is sticky, so you wouldn’t need to\u00a0choose it again. \u00a0 If many cases, you can create your section views with just two quick mouse clicks.<\/p>\n
