drawing section view: is part cut or not

[Jakob_Hamburg]

Hello.

I would like to know if it is possible to check if a part  in a section view (on a drawing) is cut or not.

I have an ilogic rule that automatically puts the balloons on the parts shown in the view.

But I am only interested in balloons on the parts that are cut (sectioned) in a section view (because I am showing welding symbols, so mostly the sectioned parts are only relevant).   

I there a kind of property of the parts in a section view that can identify them as cut..(sth. like having a hatch)?

I would like to use that in my rule to only put balloons on the cut parts.

Maybe you don't need code for that.

I you make the section-depth "0" mm than only the parts are shown/visible that are sectioned/cut.

With autoballoon you have the same result I guess!

Thank you, that is a smart advice. But since we have really complex drawings with many details taken from various section views, I would like to use an ilogic selection in my rule.

Just for reference I want to add a link to another thread where it is discussed how it might be possible to get a grip on cut parts in section views. (I will look into it later since I am still working in Inventor 2021 and it requires 2022)
