Section Line Instances

Section line instances of a section view can be added to or deleted from design layers or viewport annotation. In addition, the Section Line Instances dialog box provides an easy way to navigate from a section viewport to its associated section lines.

To edit section line instances or navigate to a section line:

1.	Click Section Line Instances from the Object Info palette of a selected section viewport.

The Section Line Instances dialog box opens.

 

Parameter	Description
Viewport	Displays the section viewport name associated with the section line instances
Find Instances In	Select whether to list section line instances in design layers or viewports
Instances list	Displays the list of design layers or viewports in the file, with a check mark next to layers or viewports with a section line instance
Activate	Navigates to the selected section line instance

2.	To add a section line instance to a selected design layer or viewport annotation, click in the left column. A check mark indicates that a section line instance exists on that layer or viewport. Click again to remove the instance from the selected layer or viewport.

Deleting all section line instances does not delete the section viewport, and new instances can be created at any time. However, deleting a section viewport deletes all section line instances.

3.	The section line instances can also be used as a navigation tool to access a particular section line. Select the section line and click Activate to switch to the design layer or viewport; the section line is selected for any modifications.

Return from a section line instance to the associated section viewport by clicking Activate Section Viewport from the Object Info palette of a selected section line.
