Summary


Details

In pre-NX 11.0 versions of NX we have used PMI Section View command to define stepped sections in modeling. As the pre-NX 11.0 PMI Section View command offers the ability to use a sketch as section line definition. 
In current NX versions the Section View command now only offers a plane as section definition how to go about to create a stepped section in modeling as part of PMI in modeling?



Solution

What was known as PMI "Lightweight Section View" in pre-NX 11.0 versions of NX is now called "Section View" Some enhancements have also been added. 
One characteristic of current NX version Section View function is that it uses a plane for "section line" definition.


The pre NX11 PMI Section View command is in later NX versions called "Section View (Legacy)"
It is not included in the out of the box user interface, nor is it found using Command Finder. You need to use menu Customize function and search for "section view" to find it and add it to your current menu.


As "Section View (Legacy)"  have the same functionality as Section View command had in NX 10.0 and earlier versions, you can use it to, for instance, define a stepped section.
