[solved] View section opposite direction? (sketcher)

Post by thomas-neemann »

if you are working in a mirrored sketch, it would make sense to reverse the direction of view section. i can't do it. is there a possibility?

i could imagine that a modified python line could bring the result.

If you want to work from behind, you should set MapReversed=True.

you can't do the symmetry of the sketch, but on the other hand
if you are in Partdesign, he will not want to create 2 separate parts in the same body
in PartWb it will work

in this case you can create the mirror image with it, but the display in view section is unchanged

I tested something like that with a cut view, but as soon as you switch to the sketcher, sketcher has its own view






as long as there is no solution, I would have to offer a workaround:

You have a solution now, but I would like to understand this. With MapReversed=True the sketch plane is opened from behind. And you say that the section is now in front of the sketch plane?
