Hello, I would like to ask about a symbol I encountered in a work I received from someone else. I saw this symbol on the drawing file, what does it mean and what does it do? I would be happy if you can help.

Best Regards..

Hi,

It means that Generate View or Generate Section tool was used on that file. If you right click on that file and select List reference drawing files a list should pop-up, showing drawing files from which section/view was generated.

Thank you for enlightening me.
What is the benefit of using this?
for example if we refer to a drawing file with bars, will it be reflected in the legend ?

Benefit of this particular icon is to know the file where you derived views or sections from model files.

Benefit of generating sections in engineering?
