I'm having problems to create sections views. I'm trying to exclude a rib from being cut but I can't select the component I don't want to cut. When I try to select it, the whole part file is selected and not the component.
PS: I've found this method but it can't help me: http://www.javelin-tech.com/newsletter/tech_old/2007/december/article_isfastener.htm
Could someone help me? Thank you
Thank you so much for your answer! I've tried what you suggested and every time I try I can't select the component. I don't know why... My rib was made with a sketch and not with the option rib, I don't know if this the problem...
I found a way to select the component! I had to redo my rib with the rib option...
That's great to hear. Whether it was created with an Extruded Boss/Base feature or a Rib feature should not matter, as long as it is a feature in the FeatureManager, it should be selectable.
It's really strange that you are having the issue. Glad to know that you found a workaround.

Thank you for helping me! But I finally found a way to select the component!
Hi Marcia,
I have a suggestion . If you want to hide the Rib Feature , you can Follow this Method.
1.Go to Tools, Options , System Option, Drawings, Display Style, Display quality for new views, High quality.
2. Delete the previously created view and create a new view and try this. Edges will be removed. When trying this all edges can be removed. Hence the issue is closed .
3. Or change the Existing view to high Quality.
4. Then go to Hide/ Show Edges Which is Available Tools, Customize, Menu , Line Format .
5. Select the particular Edge and remove the rib.
Hope this was helpful. Thanks in Advance.

Marcia,
You can exclude features or components to be excluded from sectioning. Simple Right-Click on the Sectioned View, select Properties, and activate the tab Section Scope, In the selection field, select the feature on screen. If you are unable to select the feature on screen, go to the FeatureManager and browse through the features of the components in the Drawing Views. This will make the selection of features a lot easier. I hope this helps!
