I have a 3D solid that I would like to print out cross sectional views of, evere 100mm or so.

Is it possible to do this easily?

You can use the section view tool in the model or assembly model. It will allow you to view one cross section at a time.
 
Oh, you can also just create cut features in the assembly, each within its own configuration. Then just switch between configurations to see the layers.
 
A quick idea is to position, with DIMENSION tool, the SECTIONLINE in the drawing. After that you can modify step by stepthis dimension (double click on the dimension and modify it), REBUILD the draw, andPRINTout.


Another idea is to use a macro. But, heare, I have a question: Someone know the Visual Basicsintax for SW's REBUILD command? If YES, please post it for me. Thank you in advance.
