Realistic render image exort with SectTool

If you use a section tool in the scene to show a section of a part/ assy

and you export that to a .TIF with relistic+antialiasing on,

you end up with a .TIF that shows the part/assy NOT sectioned.

 

Solution is to rightmouse the section tool an switch to Precise mode.

Then IronCAD will produce a clean section in the exported image.

Yes, and you cannot get the smart dimensions to work between sectioned and unsectioned parts unless you are in precision mode.

But, I have also run into some trouble when leaving the section tool supressed in an assembly. I have the pneumatic cylinders that I used the "Section Part/Assembly" tool to put a smart dimension between the piston and the inside bottom of the cylinder housing. When done, I left it in the supressed mode. Later when I imported these cylinders as linked parts into an assembly I found that it was not possible to save and exit that assembly anymore. When I deleted the Section Tool from the cylinder all was OK again, and it was possible to save the assembly.
