How to Convert a Projected View to a Section View in Solidworks

Hi all

 

Here's my problem. Under solidworks in the drawing, I inserted my main view and then a projected view. I have the projected view. I now want to be able to cover this projected view in section view without losing my dimension. Is this possible?

 

Thank you all in advance

Hello

 

By surrounding your view with a sketch (e.g. with the "rectangle" or "spline" tool) and using the "local section" tool, you will not lose your dimension.

Slt

 

So I understood that you were looking for a conversion <projected view>/<cross-sectional view>;   but why not directly create a cross-sectional view?? The scale will remain the same as that of a projected view, and you then add the dimension you want.

 

I don't understand the passage through the <projected view> stage in fact o_O

The @PhillipeB technique also works very well, thanks for the trick!
