Section - cut vs not cut

[marcusfriesl]

When working with an assembly in section view in a drawing it would be great if inventor could distinguish between sections of the assembly that were cut, and not cut.  Distinguishing these 2 items would go greatly in increasing the readablity of the drawing, and shown in the attached file.

I realize that the distinction is curretnly made with hatching, but having a difference between the look of the lines would go greatly in producing a more readable drawing.

I agree with Marcus, it would be an important feature...

This could be done easily by adding a "Sectioned Edge" entry to Object Defaults...

Thanks

God Yes!! Inventor already knows they are a separate object. You can change your selection filter to 'Feature' and you can highlight each section loop in the view, then right-click and select, Select As Edges. At this point you can move all those edges onto a Sectioned Edges layer... but what a rigmarole!
