adding a section name to end views

Anonymous

Hey guys, Im looking for some help to clarify part of my drawings.  My shop prefers all column section views to be viewed from right to left, so the end views for the  cap plate section shows the column with  hidden lines and the base plate detail shows the column with solid lines.  It was easy to acheive this and we had no problems for months until a guy that rarely fabricates got confused and put all the baseplates on backwards.  Screen shot aa is what our shop has used for the past few months with the base plate section technically incorrect, at their request. I want to add section arrows and names so there is no confusion. The only way I can get section names and arrows is to change these to normal section views(not end views) which acheives the layout in screen shot bb.  Personally I don't think this looks presentable and many of the fabricators agree.  I want these drawings to look like screen shot cc, keeping the layout I already have, while assigning section names to both end plates.   The only two solutions I can see is either being able to assign view names to views with view direction on object assigned to cross section through end plates from right or more control over the view arrangement.  I've had no luck though. Any ideas?

Hi,

 

go to the managment tool. Under Drawing - Presentation you find a point like "show cut symbols for end plate views" (sorry I have only the german version of AS, in your version it could be named different).

 

This generates cut symbols for automatic end plate views like screenshot cc.

 

 

Greetings
