Inventor Drawing - How to section a shaft

Hi guys, I would like to know how to make consecutive sections of a shaft like these:

When I make a section I can put it only  on the left or on the right of the shaft but not under the section line.

Right click on the section view >Alignment > Break Alignment.
You should be able to move the view where you want.

I have tried, but after break alignment I can't re-align the section with the section line. If I use vertical alignment, inventor puts the section under the middle of the shaft.

Most likely, WFFV (wait for future version) is the answer.

Agree with BeKirra, you're out of luck with the current functionality.
You could attempt to get it aligned using sketches, but you would be wasting too much time for a small detail such as this.
Zoom in & do it by eye, you will be surprised how close you can get it

It would be nice if the sliced view tool created layouts like this!
