    The geometry of a cross section in an assembly is divided into components. Each component corresponds to one of the parts in the assembly that is intersected by the cross section, and describes the geometry of that intersection. A component can have disjoint geometry if the cross section intersects a given part instance in more than one place.
    A cross section in a part has a single component.
    The components of a cross section are identified by consecutive integer identifiers that always start at 0.
    The function ProXSectionItemsCollect() returns an array of ProXSectionItem. An array item is created for each body. If no bodies are created, an array contains one item for each component. The function returns the error PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND when the input argument p_view is a drawing view and the input cross section is not found in the view.
    The function ProXSectionItemDataGet() returns the data from the cross section body specified using the structure ProXSectionItem. The output arguments follow:
    •  r_path—Path to the component being cut by the cross section.
    •  r_id_type—Body or quilt type.
    •  r_id—Id of the body or the quilt being cut.
    •  r_geom—Geometry created by the cross section by cutting the specific body or quilt.
    Use the function ProXSectionItemFree() to free the memory allocated to the ProXSectionItem structure.
    Use the function ProXSectionItemsArrFree() to free the ProArray of cross section data allocated by the function ProXSectionItemsCollect().
    The function ProXsecGeometryRetrieve() returns an array containing the geometry of all components in the specified cross section and retrieves the following information about a specified cross-sectional component:
    •  The memb_num and memb_id_tab for the intersected part, with respect to the assembly that contains the cross section.
    •  A handle to the geometry of the intersection.
    The geometry handle can be treated as an ordinary face pointer. Extract its contours with function ProSurfaceContourVisit().
    Use the function ProXsecGeometryArrayFree() to free the memory allocated to the array of cross section data and use the function ProXsecGeometryFree() to free memory allocated to the cross section data.
    The geometry of a cross section is not maintained constantly by Creo Parametric—it is regenerated only when the user requests to see the cross section. Use function ProXsecRegenerate() to regenerate the cross section of a part or an assembly. Use function ProXsecDisplay() to display a cross section. ProXsecDisplay() does not add the cross section to the associated objects list, and the displayed cross section disappears on the first screen redraw.
    The function ProXsecPlaneGet() returns the plane geometry for a specified cross section.
    In Creo Parametric 9.0, the function ProOffsetXsecGet() is deprecated. Use the function ProOffsetXsecInfoGet() instead.
    The function ProOffsetXsecInfoGet() returns the following parameters for a specified offset cross section.
    •  p_ent_arr—Specifies a ProArray of Pro2dLinedef structures for the cross section entities.
    •  plane—Specifies an entity plane.
    •  p_one_sided—If this output argument is true, the cross section lies on one side of the entity plane, if it is false, the cross section is both-sided.
    •  p_flip—If this output argument is false, Creo Parametric removes material from the left of the cross section entities if the viewing direction is from the positive side of the entity plane. If p_flip is true, Creo Parametric retains the material from the left of the cross section entities and removes the rest of the material.
    •  p_side_xsec_mode—Specifies the side to which the cross-section is oriented. The side is specified by the enumerated data type ProXsecOffsetSide. The valid values are:
    ○  PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_BOTH_SIDES—Orients the cross section to both sides of entity plane.
    ○  PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_SIDE_1—Orients the cross section to the positive normal of entity plane.
    ○  PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_SIDE_2—Orients the cross section to the negative normal of entity plane.
    The function ProXsecGet() retrieves the cross section handle based on the specified solid model and cross section ID.
    The function ProXsecMdlnameAlloc() allocates the ProXsecMdlname handle. The input arguments follow:
    •  solid_owner—Specifies the model where the cross section will be created.
    •  xsec_name—The name to set in the cross section. Maximum name size should be PRO_MDLNAME_SIZE.
    Note
    The function ProXsecMdlnameAlloc() returns the error PRO_TK_LINE_TOO_LONG if the name of the cross section is longer than PRO_NAME_SIZE.
    Use the function ProXsecMdlnameFree() to free the memory allocated to the ProXsecMdlname handle.
    The function ProXsecMdlnameNameGet() returns the name of the cross section handle.
    Use the function ProXsecMdlnameNameSet() to set the name of the cross section. Maximum name size should be PRO_NAME_SIZE.

    The function ProXsecAsModelitemGet() converts a cross section handle into an appropriate model item.
    The function ProXsecFlipGet() returns a integer value that indicates the direction in which the cross section has been clipped. Depending on the type of cross section, the integer value indicates different direction of clipping as below:
    •  Planar cross section—The integer value:
    ○  1 indicates that the cross section has been clipped in the direction of the positive normal to the cross section plane.
    ○  -1 indicates that the cross section has been clipped in the opposite direction of the positive normal.
    •  Offset cross section—The integer value:
    ○  1 indicates that material has been removed from the left of the cross section entities if the viewing direction is from the positive side of the entity plane.
    ○  -1 indicates that the material has been retained from the left of the cross section entities and rest of the material has been removed.
    In Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0 the function ProXsecExcludeCompGet() is deprecated. Use the function ProXSectionExcludeCompGet() instead.
    The function ProXSectionExcludeCompGet() returns the status and an array of paths to the assembly components and bodies that have been included and excluded for the specified cross section.

    •  data—Reserved for future use.
    Note
    •  From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, when a cross section is created, it is not displayed by default in the model. You must call the function ProXsecMakeVisible() to display the cross section.
    •  While porting Creo TOOLKIT applications, which have used the function ProXsecPlanarWithoptionsCreate() and have been created in releases prior to Creo Parametric 4.0 F000, depending on whether you want the cross section to be displayed, call the function ProXsecMakeVisible() in your applications. ProXsecMakeVisible() displays the cross section in the model.

    ○  the functions ProXsecParallelCreate() and ProXsecPlanarWithoptionsCreate() automatically convert the legacy cross sections to new cross section features as defined in Creo Parametric 2.0 before creating any new cross section feature.
    The function ProXsecOffsetCreate() is deprecated. Use the function ProXSectionOffsetCreate() instead.
    The function ProXSectionOffsetCreate() creates an offset cross section from a polyline. The polyline lies on a plane and the plane is defined by a local coordinate system. Offset cross section is created by extruding the polyline perpendicular to the sketching plane. The input arguments are:
    •  solid_owner—Specifies the model where the cross section will be created.
    •  xsec_name—Specifies the name of the cross section.
    •  trf—Specifies the local coordinate system of the plane which contains the polyline.

    ○  PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_SIDE_2—Extends the cross section to the negative normal of polyline plane.
    •  flip—Specifies the direction in which the cross section will be clipped. The value False indicates that the material on the right side of the polyline plane is retained. When the argument side is set to PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_SIDE_1 or PRO_XSEC_OFFSET_SIDE_2 then the material is retained from positive or negative side of polyline plane respectively.
    When the value is set to True the above area is removed. The remaining material is retained.
    Note
    If the polyline from which the cross section has been created is closed, then flip works a little different.

This function takes the handle to the cross section, the ID of the cross section component, the handle to the drawing view containing the cross section component and a pointer to the ProXsecXhatch object as its input arguments.
    Note
    If the cross section component already includes a line pattern, then the function ProXsecCompXhatchAdd() does not add a line pattern.
    The function ProXsecCompXhatchReplace() replaces all existing line patterns of a specified cross section component with a new one.
    In Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0 the functions ProXsecCompXhatchStyleGet() and ProXsecCompNewXhatchStyleGet() are deprecated. Use the function ProXsectionCompXhatchStyleGet () to get p_xhatch_style from a component and ProXSectionItemXhatchStyleGet() to get p_xhatch_style from a body.
