I loveeeeed this feature in solidworks that ive been waiting for inventor to have also.
Assembly has the cut view plane to view sections. It would be aweeeeesommmmee if i can drag the plane and show the section smoothly. Someone also suggested here to have cut view plane in ipt and i agree 100% .
Yes it will work in 2011 I was demoing this in Inventor 4. You had the flip option because you let go of the left click before you started to drag the mouse.
When you click on the face or plane the section view creates it's own plane if you start to drag before letting go of the left click when you pick the face to start the section on. A dialog box with Offset should pop up when you start the section.
So this is what you do start the section command pick a face with left click hold the left button down at all times and start to drag the mouse this will make a plane for the section view now as long as you do don't click the check mark you can release the left button and when you want to drag again just hold down the lift mouse button again and drag.
If you still can't get it to work I will make a short video for you..
What I'd like to see is the ability to drag the cutting plane AFTER you have created the section view. Now, if you create the section view, do a few other operations, and need to move the plane over a few inches, you have to go back to square one. It isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice.
As an option to dragging clipping planes dynamicalliy I'd like to select a point and plane to make a defined cut/clip. Not always workplanes are available - and creating them only for clipping is annoying.
As discussed here in the comments section: an additonal option to add a triad to the clipping plane to dynamically move and rotate this plane.
Also as mentioned here in the comments: Cutting via bounding box with dragable surfaces (like NX has it)
Please have look at this link and scroll down to the last picture. Funny - this is a Autodesk Revit screenshot... So it seems that Revit has such a feature(?).
In Siemens UG NX one option within the 3d dynamic clip feature is clipping with a box surrounding your model. (similar as shown in the picture from the link). On each side of this box are dragable handles. So you are able to cut your model from six sides dynamically. Beyond this every side of the clipping box should be snapalble to geometry.
In Inventor 2012 you could change the offset of a section view (location where it cuts) in a model and still mainpulate the model. This was before committing the section view. Now you have to commit the section view before going on.
I would like to see the ability to change this offset at any time (after commiting) without having to re-construct a section view.
I have seen this before in other programs. Mechanical simulation allows you to stroll back and forth thru a model to see different sections. When examining a part or assembly, section views allow you to remove clutter thats in the way and also see the interelation of components (fit).
Also to be able to flip the view while working on the component and look back the other way.
Ideally being able to pivot (select a crossing plane) around a line and slice in another direction.
These would allow a more dynamic and simpler manipulation of section views.
I support this idea. It is already available on SW & NX and makes reviewing designs much quicker and makes showing features on different orientations and comparing them easier.
Add the feature to modify the section plane when doing half/quarter section view.
For instance during packaging checks, typical usercase:
The section needed is not defined by a plane or surface, then if a section in YZ plane is selected the plane can currently only be offsett. If a compass or VCS symbol is added to the section plane it can be adjusted to show the needed section, rotated/angled.
