2. Type = Circle.
3. Specify the Center Point.
4. Specify the Boundary Point.
5. Place the Detail view.
6. Close the Detail View dialog.
7. In the Part Navigator, highlight the Detail View, 'MouseButton3
(MB3)-->Convert to Independent Detail'.
Create a Sketch:
1. In the Part Navigator, highlight the Detail View, 'MB3-->Active Sketch
View'.
2. In the Menus, select 'Insert-->Sketch Curve-->Circle'.
3. Create a circle in the Detail view with the exact center and size
as the Detail View boundary.
Create a Break-out in the Detail View:
1. In the Menu, select 'Insert-->View-->Break-out'.
2. Toggle to 'Create'.
3. Select the Detail view from the listing.
4. Select the Base Point, which should be the center of the Detail view,

The Detail view should now be sectioned without using a section view.
