Section View Assist automatically comes up when you start the Section View tool without preselecting a sketch. Section View Assist allows you to create very complex section views very quickly. It also allows you to make the simplist section views faster than before, without the need to draw sketches on your drawing view. Included in the new tool is the ability to shortcut the creation of simple section views even more!
If you do not use more complex section view cutting lines very often, you can by-pass the Section View Pop-up by checking the “Auto-start section view” setting. This will allow you to place the cutting line and then immediately place your section view. The setting is sticky, so you wouldn’t need to choose it again. If many cases, you can create your section views with just two quick mouse clicks.

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
