Section views in drawings

bert_fouriebert_fourie Member Posts: 101 PRO
At the moment only horizontal and vertical section views are possible - I often have need of section views on an oblique plane. Any ideas?

    now there are only horizontal /vertical/jogged section views in Onshape, we could not create a section view with a oblique plane,you can raise an improvement ticket about it .

    Thanks, I raised an improvement request. I cannot stress enough how important it is now to get the sophistication of the drawing mode up to scratch :)

    I completely agree Bert_fourie

    +1 I also agree that drawings should be the focus of attention for improvements.

    Hi,
    Not really sure where to address this, so I continue this thread:
    Would be very useful to be able to decide the depth of your sectioned view (to show individual sections of a long pipe f.e. without having un-relevant details you want to show on a separate section view anyway).
    Is this possible today?

    I agree that there should be more effort put into the drawing mode. 
    I'd like to be able to have a section line that is horizontal then on an angle, producing a single section view. This is useful for round parts that have different features around the circumference.

    I don't think this is possible yet. It feels like it should be possible by using a modifier key when creating the angular section but I couldn't make it work.
