Create working lines from planar slice of 3D solid

I've been working with AutoCAD for many decades but lately more on and off. I can't seem to figure out the elegant way to get edges from a 3D solid at a planar intersection (basically a section). I can do this the difficult way by creating a copy of my solid, then setting my UCS' XY to the plane I need to get the geometry from, make a large basic solid extrusion (from a circle or rectangle) that will cut away the solid at the plane and then extract edges (then delete all the edges I don't need) but there must be a simple way.

 

In other words, I want a section that is still in Model space and creates geometry I can then create from. Is there an elegant method (or command) to extract edges that intersect with a plane? I've done a lot of searching but keep getting information relative to sections and mostly for paper space.

 

"Extract Edges" doesn't give me the edges at the planar cut, "Slice" damages my 3D solid, etc.

did you try SECTION ?

Just tried it and yes, that's the answer. I kind of knew it would be simple but just couldn't find it. Thanks so much.
