Ok, let's try this:
1) Let's assume you want to cut through the plan view at a certain
elevation. (It will be similar if you want to cut through an elevation at a
certain depth.)
2) Change to the plan view. Set the UCS to match (ie you can see the X&Y
arrows.
3) Start the _DVIEW command and select some or all of the objects.
4) For the DVIEW option, enter the _CLIP command.
5) Enter the _FRONT option. You can now enter where the "cut" is from the
target via the slider at the top or by a distance. Say your object(s)
is/are 300 units high, to cut at the mid point, enter -150.
6) You may need to use the _HIDE in DVIEW to better see your results. Maybe
not for solids though.
7) To change your viewpoint, use the _CAMERA command in DVIEW. A 35 & 35 is
an isometric view. A 90 & 90 is the plan view (assuming plan view = World
UCS).
That's about as much as I've ever done with it.
Enjoy,
Stef
