To Create References with the X sec Option
You can use the X sec option to create reference entities by intersecting the sketching plane with surfaces. All other reference entities in Sketcher are created by projecting the referenced geometry onto the sketching plane. In contrast, the X sec option projects the referenced geometry onto the sketching plane to create true intersections. This command is especially useful for variable section sweeps.
1. Click
Sketch >
References . The
References dialog box opens.
2. Click X sec.
3. Select a surface or an intent surface. Sketcher creates a reference entity at the intersection of the sketching plane with the surface.
4. Click Close.
