Content of the defect

When using the cross-sectional view in the status bar, "Part selection cannot be selected" and "SmartDimension cannot be used" phenomena occur.


With a cross-sectional view, SmartDimension does not allow you to use the forbidden mark even if you match the mouse cursor to the surface, point, etc.


In cross-section view, you cannot select parts or IntelliShapes in the scene.
As shown in the figure below, you cannot select them.
