2013 model section view

When I do a half section view in an assembly, it works untill I hit escape or a measuring operation. Once the command is started the half section turns back to no section or the sold part. Is this how it is suppose to work in this version? In 2012 the section would stick so you could measure and even constrain parts.

after you do the section and you click on the white arrowwhich is continue, then you have to hit enter key or right click and click OK.

Or you can press enter key after the section. But there is no enter key for the mouse.

I'm still trying to understand the reason for this.

Thanks for the info! I dont see why autodesk seems to want to double the amount of mouse clicks to operate this software. It only just slows us down.

This is annoying...I don't know that adding clicks to accomplish something that used to be doable with less is ever a good idea.

I have to agree with everyone on this point. It does not make any sense at all. You should be able to select the command, select a face or plane, drag it to the position you want and then be able to measure or sketch or any other operation without having to click anything other than the command you want.

 

This is related to my complaint of the Undo command cancelling the tool you are currently using, another PITA!

Man,

   This is stupid, I agree with all of you about the extra click. Thanx for the info though, the work flow is so retarded I could not figure it out untill I searched for it and found this post.

FIX THIS AUTODESK!

Just want to and my vote for the

 

FIX THIS AUTODESK!

 

Very nice to add secret extra steps, thanks a lot for that.

 

Plus, I have to right click then select "OK (Enter)" which to me implies that Enter should work the same as the right clicking and selecting, but no matter how many times I hit Enter the command is not finished and I lose my section when I try to do something.

 

So I would just like to reiterate (again)

 

FIX THIS AUTODESK!

This appears to be fixed in 2014. A single right click > OK, or pressing Enter once is all that is needed now.

If I type "0" and hit Enter it goes, but it does not seem to be okay with just hitting Enter with the default "0.000 in" still in the field. Didn't you used to be able to just Enter to accept the default?

 

They did remove the superfluous Right Click - Okay (which said "Okay (Enter)" implying that Enter would accomplish the same thing, which it didn't) so I guess they can have a big "atta-boy" for that.

+1!!! I have never understood why I can't simply click "Enter" when using the default 0.000 value, but if I drag or move the plane I can click Enter and it closes the command out like it should. I really wished Enter meant...well....."Enter"... like it implies. Smiley Frustrated

 

The infamous OK (Enter) alive and well in 2014 Update 2....

Ahh, yep. It still does require changing that value. I usually drag the plane with my mouse which changes that value and works just hitting enter after that.

The original one is still there as an alternate way of accepting the view. I think dan was referring to the 2nd RMB > OK that was required in 2013 and is now removed in 2014.

OK I see the issue with not accepting enter when the value is default... probably just a focus issue (even though the I beam is blinking the control may still not have focus which means we don't get the enter.

 

I will log this right now.

For that, everything I've muttered under my breath about the people who work with you, and especially that stuff about their mothers, doesn't apply to you (or your mother) for at least the rest of the day.

Looks like this bug was reintroduced in 2015. Enter doesn't work with the default value in a section view again.
