Correcting off-axis section?

[anders.hedman]

This has certainly been asked many times before- couldn´t find the threads though -
I´ve got a section "slightly off axis" with lots of details drawn on it , so I wouldn´t like to make a new one. How do I correct the section angle to perpendicular in the most convinient way?

[Mike Sealander]

Slightly off axis sections can be a pain. One solution: Draw a reference plane that you know is correctly angled, parallel to a wall for instance. Move the section so that one of the blue drag points is at the end of the reference plane. It should snap into place. Then, rotate the section about the snapped point. You may need to tab through a couple of possible points on the section in order to properly rotate it.

That is what I would do but I would like to ad::
t might be easyer to rotate it way off in the wrong direction before rotating it into the right place.
It would be nice if align would work on section lines.

Thanks, I still didn´t succed in snapping the section on the referensline-end

Now ! the section tag has to be in one piece ie.there has to be no "gaps in segment"

Dave Baldacchino had a thorough write-up of this a while ago. His issue was with Elevations, but this should work with Sections as well.
