Hi all,

1. How do I create a section view includes the arrows to show where is the section plane being select ?

i used the revolve view but it dosen't show a completed line,...Did I do anything wrong?

2.every time I dimension, wirefire2 give me the plus/minus mode of tolerance or nominal as I change in the config. Is there any way so I can set the tol_display " YES" but the tol_mode set at "NOMINAL".

Much appriciate.

1. I didn't used revolved view ever so don't know what to say about it. I didn't need it. You can search the help file to see what is about. (from what I briefly read about I don't think you can add arrowsfor a revolved view).


But if you need a section view. You can create a projection or a general view and in drawing view properties window go to section and select the section you previously created. To add arrows click on arrow display and click on a view where you want to show the arrows.

You have to firstmake the section in part or assembly from view manager. You can create the section from drawing too, but it's a bit difficult.


2. Go to TOOLS / OPTIONS


and add tol_mode in option field, then in value field select nominal, hit add, then apply then OK.

If you already have this option in your config just change it to nominal
