Two piece of cake steps

Create a section view as you normally would
Right click on the section view and select Isometric Section View

To alter it back
Just right click on the view again and select Remove Isometric View.

Exceptions
Y'all can't do it with Fractional Section or with Display only Cutting Face up(s) selected. Just make certain you draw the section line beyond the unabridged view and don't have those selected.

Prior to 2007?
If you're running an earlier version, the best method I've found is to create a configuration of an associates with an associates cutting. If you want a hatch pattern in the drawing though, you'll have to select each surface area manually, go to the Insert menu and select Annotations, Area Hatch/Fill up.
