Creating Section Viewports from Unlinked Section Lines

An unlinked (orphan) section line is disconnected from its associated section viewport, possibly because the section line was pasted from a copy, duplicated, or mirrored. It displays as a black and yellow line, and “Not Linked” is displayed in Section Viewport on the Shape tab of the Object Info palette.

Section viewports can be created from unlinked section lines located on a design layer, sheet layer, or while in edit annotation mode.

To create a section viewport from an unlinked section line:

1.	Select the unlinked section lines. If on a sheet layer, include the viewport to be sectioned in the selection set.

Each selected section line creates a new section viewport.

2.	Select View > Create Section Viewport.

The Create Section Viewport dialog box opens (see Creating Section Views). If multiple unlinked section lines were selected, the parameters specified apply to all section viewports created.

3.	Click OK to create a section viewport for each selected section line.
