Cut alignment bug

2D plans
1

Hi all

I have an annoying bug on my drawing:
I have 2 leaves with a cup on them. The cut is horizontal and therefore my views were aligned vertically from the center.
I made a change in my assembly and when I came back to the drawing, after the update, my reference view and my section view were offset... This is the case on my 2 sheets with cuts and not at all on the other sheets which have aligned views but without sections.

Of course I had it redrawn and I also restarted Solidworks but nothing helped. I tried to realign the views via the tools menu but no. It's as if for him everything was normal and I just have a display problem.

I still have the solution to start my sheet again but I would like to know before if a solution is known. Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you!

If you edit the cut line, does SW rebuild the view afterwards?

Not everything is very clear... among others the " Horizontal cut line with vertically aligned views from the center "

That said, your alignment by the center seems to me to be your problem => modification of the section view 1 => modification of the center of image 1 => shift of view 1 (new center) and view 2 (old center)

Unfortunately no, still no correction

Then... I didn't understand everything :sweat_smile:
The alignment by the center is done by itself when I place my cut and shift down (be careful beginner inside if you hadn't noticed).
I don't see where to put an alignment by origin...

I finally found to put a screenshot. At the top you can see my original view, which is used to place my cup and is therefore offset. As a result, my central axis is no longer too central.

Thank you for your quick feedback in any case :slight_smile:

Your case is surprising :slight_smile:

The easiest thing to do seems to me to be:

  1. Edit the section view sketch
    To edit the section sketch:
    1.1) Right click on the cut line
    1.2) Select " change cut line"
    image
    1.3) In the pop-up window, click on " Edit Sketch "
    image

  2. Constrain your cut line in the sketch (midpoint on midpoint for example)

  3. Validate your cross-section sketch
