Standard spacing of X-sec

FDdesign

New member
The following (In ProE2001):
In a large assembly, a user created a X-sec. When he places that Full Sectioned View in a drawing, the spacing of the X-sec is very narrow (he get yellow filled areas because the spacing is to narrow).
Is there a way to specify the 'standard' spacing ?
OK, I know that you can change your spacing in drawing-mode, but this would be very anoying, because there are very much components he would/should change. Because you can only change the spacing x-sec for a particular component.
Or is there a way to change the spacing, lets say double, for the whole X-sec view at ones ?
Important: The parts don't have any assigment with a material file !!!

<H3>some informationhelpful in your trouble. (I thought)</H3>
<H3>
<H1>To Set the Default Spacing and Angle</H1>
You can set the default spacing and angle of cross-hatching for new planar and offset cross sections. To do that, add the following model parameters using Tools > Parameters:
<UL>
<LI =kadov-p-CTopic-Text-Bulleted>
default_xhatch_angle with a value for the angle between
 
Thanks for you reply / 'possible' solution....


However,... I hoped on another solution ...

Because now, when I see your solution I have to create in each model such a parameter. And because they are in a ROA (Read Only Area) this solution doesn't fit for me.


Anyway,... I wasn't aware of this parameter, it can be useful in the future.
Thanks for your help.

I have add the suggested parameterin mySTART PART/START ASSEMBLY (in the windows "relations"), but when I create a new section they don't seems to work!


Important: I use Wildfire 2 and the partsdon't have any assigment with a material file !!!


Any suggestions?





Thank in advice
 
From my knowledge it isn't possible to create standard spacing in any other way only in one that ndk have suggested.


I have found another half solution:
You could create different hatch styles for every different spacing and angle, ie. Cross_45_6, meaning angle is 45, and spacing 6 mm.
Now just simply Retrieve different cross sets for different hatching.
You can also create a Mapkey to speed up process of changing cross type.
