prax3des Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think it must be something autocad on my computer. Any file that I create from scratch happens to me the same problem. On my home computer, for example. I don´t have that problem. It must be a problem in the computer of my work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretagdan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 This is something that I regularly use. We had an AutoCAD vendor that was trying to show off by trying to get solutions to specific problems & this was one that was presented to them. When you first draw a sectionplane the default has the 'LIVE SECTION' turned on, which is what is masking your object. To fix you need to turn it off every time you create a new sectionplane. There are two ways to turn off. 1. if you have ribbons on there are sectionplane tools that you can use to turn it off. 2. if you have right click menus turned on in options you can select the section plane & right-click, there is an option called 'LIVE SECTION' that has a check mark by it that you need to turn off. When I talked to AutoCAD to see if there was a way to default it turned off, but they told me no. was submitted as something to update, but they have released two versions of AutoCAD since and has not been updated. There are some other issues with this command that was discussed that I don't like & would make it easier to use but they again have done nothing with it. I attached a screen grab of the ribbon menu, the right-click menu wont let me get a screen grab. And just for fun, it took AutoCAD 3 months to go through the entire process.
