Section of ribs & webs

Just wanting to know opinions, for sectioning of views, typically ribs & webs are not sectioned, so extra work is involved in creating views to meet NZ & Austrailian standards, is it feasible for Autodesk to have it so that if a rib feature is created in a model, this is not sectioned in a section view of a part (much like parts can be turned off for sectioning in an assy view)

regards
Chris

Have you reported it as a bug to http://www.autodesk.com/feedback-products as a lot
of Standards to allow the sectioning of ribs and webs.

Have you posted it as a Wish to

Check out SolidWorks 2008 when it becomes available.

The isuue is not sectioning rib & webs, it is being able to choose NOT to show hatching in ribs and webs, while showing hatching in the rest of the component.

A Hotfix or service pack for 2008, would be very much appreciated

This is a new feature request, not a defect fix. When it happens, it will
be provided in a new release (and no, not the next one I'm sorry to say).

We'd be unable to deliver this in a service pack or hotfix.

I thought I might be pushing things a bit, it's good to know that Autodesk are looking at including it in a later release.

The hatching convention is valid not only for ribs and webs but also for solid cylinders, spokes, nuts, bolts, rivets, keys, wedges, chain rings, ears, solid spheres, if the cutting plane lengtwisely or longitudinally! Unfortunately althogh Autodesk had promissed to overcome this shortcoming i2 years ago still in the latest version, 2011 the problem  exist. It is not a good thing to say "Sorry students, Inventor does not know the conventions of mechanical engineering drawing!" for such a professional, huge software. I think Autodesk needs to appoint experts on engineering drawing in software departments.

 

I look forward to having Inventor fully in accordance with standards and conventions.

Uhmm, Doc - as far as I know Inventor can be set to not hatch these items in assembly drawing views per standards.
Can you post an example where Inventor doesn't conform to standard practice (with these items you listed)?

The original question was about ribs in section.  You should have started a new thread.

"...nuts, bolts, rivets, keys..." Assembly components can easily be excluded from section participation, but doing the same for part features is virtually impossible.

I take it that this ability is not included even three versions later?

Following method was offered by one of my students ( Muhammad Askari) 2 years ago, why not say "Askari's Method": For eliminating hatching lines for ribs and webs first create the sectional view and then bring the cursor on the hatching lines, right click and select "hide" option. Then indicate the view left clicking, after that start sketching. apply "project geometry" process. for the boundarylines of the ribs/webs. And then apply filling-hatching process for the surfaces of  solid parts cut by the cutting plane, of course excluding the surface of ribs/webs....

see Tip #58 pg28  (method not described in the paper - but was in the presentation).
