ok, thanks to help from local heroes i was able to follow the instructions in the helpfile to make a section through a surface.
HOWEVER, there appears no section-line in the drawing, even though I can make it appera in tools-> modelling sections
You can see for yourself by surface extruding a circle and warping it into a cone. Make a datum plane right through its middle, Make a Model/qlts section create a new drawing and insert a drawing view using aforementioned section and there it is: ONE circle.
I can't even explain how painful this is, I want to use this simple line from this simple surface and draw a complicated parametric detail on it. I know I can just thicken the surface, not only is this inserting extra model complexity I don't need, but in the drawing I end up with a crosshatch and all kinds of junk, suffice to say I *NEED* this. (it looks extra painful when I turn on clipping and visibility of the section in the model view, it shows me exactly what I want to show and I just can't get it into a drawing)
anywho, help is appreciated
