Hi all.
I would like to straighten a section view, a section is always progated along the cut line and I want to straighten it horizontally.
Today I break the alignment, I draw a straight line in a sketch to measure the angle and then I use the rotation function of the view.
So I would just like to know if my method is the best or if there is an autistic function.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Hello
No better solution to my knowledge.
Edit: to change the alignment you can hold down the CTRL key.

One trick that can work is to use the flattened section view:

By first drawing the line in red on the attached image, then the line in blue.
Hello PL, thank you for the flattened view it works well.
Kind regards.
Break the alignment
then
Select a line in the section, then right button: Align Drawing View / Horizontal to Sheet Clockwise
