For connected and slit slots, some edges of the slot are physically connected to the profile. In these cases the slot edge can be cut parallel (that is, "neat") to the profile web surface, as shown below. The gap created by the dimension along the cross-section plane accounts for fit up clearance.

You can choose to have the edge cut normal to the penetrated part or parallel to the penetrating profile:

  • If the edge geometry is on the CrossSectionPlane layer, it will be cut parallel to the penetrating profile as shown on the left side in the example below.

  • If the edge element is on any other layer, it will be cut normal to the penetrated part as shown on the right side in the example below. The software maintains the minimum clearance by applying the symbol parameter to the short point on the plate edge.

You can also choose to have a dimension applied parallel to the penetrated part, or normal to the penetrating profile.

  • If the dimension is on the CrossSectionPlane layer, it will be applied normal to the penetrating profile as shown on the left side in the example above.

  • If the dimension is on any other layer, it will be applied parallel to the penetrated part as shown on the right side in the example above. The software maintains the minimum clearance by applying the dimension to the short point on the plate edge.

In the example below, the cyan edge and dimension have been moved to the CrossSectionPlane layer.

  1. Shift-click to select the connected edges and related dimensions.

  2. Click Change Layer on the Layers toolbar.

  3. On the dialog box, select the CrossSectionPlane layer, and click OK.
