To Create a Section in the Current Drawing

Use this procedure to place a callout that creates a 2D section in the current project view drawing.

1. On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator.
2. Click the Views tab.
3. Select the view drawing in which you want to place the section callout, right-click, and click Open.
4. On the Tool Palettes, click (Properties), and click Document.
5. Click the Callouts palette.
6. Select a section callout tool.

   Alternatively, you can click Annotate tab Callouts panel Sections drop-down, and select one of the section tools.

7. In the drawing area, specify the first point of the section line.
8. Continue to add points to the section line. When you have finished the shape of the section line, press Enter.
9. Specify the direction of the section mark arrow.
   

10. Under New Model Space View Name, enter a name for the new model space view containing the section.
11. Verify that Generate Section/Elevation is selected.
12. If you want to add a title mark to the new model space view, select Place Titlemark.
13. Select the scale for the model space view.

15. In the drawing area, select the insertion point for the model space view.

    Once the model space view has been placed, the field placeholders in the section callout change to a question mark. To resolve them, the model space view needs to be placed onto a sheet.
