Section lines

Mar 06, 2004 14 Replies

Hi



I am a technical teacher trying to get to grips with using AutoCAD 2002 LT. I have students doing drawing projects which involve the correct use of British Standards line types.



How can I get a section line displayed?



I mean "section line A-A" which should be a centre line with thick ends and arrows pointing at right angles to the thick ends which would be labelled A-A.



Can anyone assist?



Thanx

You have to draw them manually. Or buy a 3rd party mechanical add-on.

I have one drawn up and saved as a block. Just drop it in and stretch to suit.

Ditto, except it has an attribute for a label, and is sized for 1:48 plotting. It doesn't conform to any standard but my own, (shades of William Blake), but you are welcome to copy and modify it to suit your purposes. It's called sectionmark.dwg on my site.

Your Majesty!

What's a routine got that a block ain't got?

Yeah. The King of Kludge.

Read the original posting. 'Twas for Acad LT. No lisp support without an add-on.

Can't get at your drawings. 'File not found' error messages.

That's odd.....works for me-I've got it open right now. A simple left-click on the link starts the download. (IE6/WIN98) What browser/OS are you using? Is it a problem for *ALL* dwg files? Want to try again and let me know?

O.K. Michael. I'll take another look. Using IE6.

Still the same for me. 'Drawing file not found' message.

It's a puzzle!. I am using Zone Alarm - wonder if that could be causing the headache?

I don't know. What does it do?

Have you tried right-clicking and picking "Save target as..." ?
