Sectional views
Cutting plane lines are used to define the location for the
sectional view’s cutting plane. An object is “cut” along a
cutting plane line.

Hatch lines
Hatch lines are drawn on the surfaces that represent where the
cutting plane passed through solid material. Also shown are the
front and rightside orthographic views and a sectional view.
Section lines
Section lines are used to define areas that represent where solid
material has been cut in a sectional view. Section lines are evenly
spaced at any inclined angle that is not parallel to any existing
edge line and should be visually distinct from the continuous lines
that define the boundary of the sectional view
If two or more parts are included within the same sectional view,
each part must have visually different section lines.
Sectional view location
Cutting plane lines need not be drawn as straight lines across the
surface of an object. They may be stepped so more features can
be included in the sectional view.
Multiple sections
More than one sectional view may be taken off the same
orthographic view.
