Cropped view of a section?

Is it possible to create a cropped view of a section view?

Thanks

    Could you please explain about what exactly you'd like to see with a cropped section view? You can add multiple directions to a section view if that is what would satisfy your need for cropping the view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jveEkhlNmzU

    @jake_delano I think @shawnrw was referring to drawing views - currently this is not possible but it is on the to-do list.

    @shawnrw It appears we have you on that improvement request already.  As a potential easy workaround, you can use a partial section view which we currently support.  Just drag a section cutting line ends to be smaller and we automatically make it a partial section view.  No need to do an extra crop in this case, and the cutting line on the parent view is telling the truth now as far as the section view you end up with.

    Neil is correct, current we have to export the drawing to another software to achieve this need, very painful :-(.
