Wow! I just used the revamped Section View definition tools in
SolidWorks 2004 and must say there's been an amazing improvement!
For anyone who has wanted a user-controlled dynamic clipping plane
capability, the new display capabilities are terrific with spin-boxes
for distance and/or angular positioning of planes. Great for a quick
series of slices in search of interference or insufficient clearance
areas, thin walls or poor wall thickness transitions, etc.
If there were drag handles for finer, random movement then it would be
even better.
The view settings are retained during the current session, can be
toggled off/on and it's possible to save one or more section views
with the native file.
Take a look. I think you'll be pleased...
