Question
Is Cutting View only available in CIM?
Answer
When using the By Plane Tool in CIM to secure the visible range for 2D drawing output. You can also create additional sections in Drafter.
Example) explains the process of creating a side view (Section AA) of a pier using a pre-created pier front view.
| Figure. 1 CIM By Plane Setting |
It works with midas Drafter by setting the visible range centering on the cross section that can be set in CIM.

| Figure. 2 Generate Drawing Mode |
The midas Drafter program is automatically executed, and the view is created by drawing the section set in CIM.
In the example in the description), a pier front view has been created.
The composition of midas Drafter utilizes the CIM View model space and CAD function where information is shared with CIM. It is composed of CAD View model space that can be edited later.
| Figure. 3 Drafter Additional Section Setting Tool |
This is a process to create a side view of a pier by using the pier front view.
In CIM View Mode > CIM Drawing > Cutting View > Cutting View Cut the section to be additionally created.
| Figure. 4 Set the draft section creation range |
Cut the set section based on the central part of the front view of the pier.
How to execute the function
Prefix Text [Section] : Section ≫ (User can change)
Number [Alphabet(A)/Number(N)/Manual(M)] <A> : ≫ (You can set the character symbol)
Section name{Section A - A} : Section A – A ≫ (Title of the section to be created.)
Specify first point : ≫ (Select the first point of the section to be cut.)
Specify next point : ≫ (Select the second point of the section to be cut.)
| Figure. 5 Drafter additional creation section |
A side view of the pier has been created.
In order to create an additional section in the same way as in the example of the description), Please note that the additional section creation range is determined according to the visible range.
