Breaking alignment on Projected View - Cannot move Section Line

[sultan_mustun]

Hello,

I have a drawing with a projected view that I broke the alignment.
Automatically Inventor adds the section line and adds the view A-A below the projected view.
All good till now.

If I rotate the primary view 45 Deg using the View Cube, the projected view rotates as well. All good.
But the section line moves to one side and I cannot adjust it.

Example below, originally I had View A-A line perfectly centered, then rotated by 45 Deg, see View B-B line is offset now (highlighted in red) :

Any idea on how to resolve this without doing the projected view again, I have too much information on the projected view to manually do it again now.

Thank you.

I see the same thing as you show above.  The way I resolved it was to re-establish the original alignment, then break it again.  This changed it from A-A to B-B, but it retained all annotations.

I consider this to be a workaround, though.  The line should adjust automatically, or Inventor should allow the option to edit a sketch as we do for section lines that we create.  The change in view identifiers could be a problem.

Hi! I don't believe a section view or any cut view is able to react to such view angle change appropriately. The behaviors seem legacy to me. Please feel free to submit an idea to Inventor Ideas forum or vote for an existing one (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/idb-p/v1232).

Many thanks!
