The General cross-section editor is a tool that, at first sight, resembles the Picture gallery editor. What both editors have in common is that they both are a "drawing tool" for creation of a "drawing".
In General cross-section editor, the drawing represents a cross-section. In Picture gallery, the drawing is a picture of analysed structure.

or using menu function Libraries > Cross-sections,
