Hi Guys. Love the forum you're a lot of help. I started doing a few macros and I'm stuck on one that will help me save some time.

I created a macro that takes a part drawing, and opens up a 2D drawing template with predetermined views.

This all works great. I used this forum and the record macro feature combined.

Now I am stuck on this part.

I need a partial cross section of a specific view. I get there by displaying axis, draw box, select "broken out section" feature and click the axis.

The section view cuts down to the axis of a revolved part nicely.

I can't get the record feature to work because when the section happens, it isn't referencing the axis as a "stop cut" point, it is using the distance value of the specific part I'm recording.

I believe this part to be my issue in the code below. "Part.CreateBreakOutSection 3.61338130073942E-03"

Hopefully that makes sense, I'm sure it does you're smart people.

Your help would be fantastic.
