How do you view a cross section of a part in a Part Studio

mike_sandstrom

I used to be able to create a cross section of a part in Part Studio by selecting it in the View drop down box. However that option does not appear to be available anymore. Did it get moved?

I always just use the keyboard shortcut Shift+X

That sounds like a great solution but it does not work on my system

That's weird. I know some people have had cross-section issues related to their browser. What system are you using? Do you see the same thing in a different browser?

Thanks for your help but I don't think it is a browser issue. I have always gone to the drop down list for different views and there was an option for x-sections. That option is no longer there.

Have you tried a different browser? Recently this was related to Safari 14.0.

You were right. I tried a new browser and the 'x-section' option was there. That is surprising that a browser would prevent that item from being listed in a dropdown list. Thanks for your help.

Currently Safari has a bug that prevents our section view graphics from working so we disabled the option to prevent any issues. Other browsers like Chrome and Firefox do not have this issue.

You can find section view from the dropdown menu of the smaller cube that appears on the top right corner of your screen. Here´s a post that helps you address the problem: https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/behind-the-scenes-of-3d-section-view
