Goofy Section

Hello all,

 

I made a new part right out of Assembly, shaft gen and then put a gear on the out side of one secion. When I pull it into  a drawing and try to section it, it comes out like so...

 

Bad Section.jpg

 

Obviously this section doesnt really show much of the inside. I thought maybe I had buggered a setting or something...so I created a new IPT and brought it into the drawing and it worked fine, like so....

 

Good section.jpg

 

What gives? The only differnce really is that I created the first one entirely from assembly mode and the second from part mode. I have drawn many gears in recent times, dimensioned, sectioned ect with no issue... I also tried using the different options in the section pop up (Slice, full, distance, ect) I could make it section partially with a combination of options, but it wasnt proper like this second pic.

 

Any ideas?

 

TIA!

VIEW.JPGHi,

When you edit that view what setting do you have here?

Try "Always"

Can you attach the assembly here (only need two parts).

I have had something like that occur only if i dragged the view to the other side after creation.

Now, please let me be clear. I tried this last night on my laptop and that was where I thought my settings were goofy. So I tried this morning on my desktop. Same thing. I make this post. I get the email requesting the file, so what do I do? I rename the assembly from 'Assembly1' to 'Bad Section' ... and just for the sake of it try again with both suggestions.

 

Now it reacts perfectly... I tried pulling on both sides and it sectioned correctly. Tried changing the browser settings, but since it worked already from the pull there wasnt any change there.... And yet, if I create a new file I can replicate the original problem. With this in mind, I re-tried the 'obey browser..' and there was no change.

 

I have attached all nessesary files in a zip file.

 

I doubt this could be solely related to the file naming, but I have no clue. So I am good for the moment, but it still perplexes me why it does this.

 

tks guys!!
