Broken-out Section PropertyManager

The PropertyManager for a broken-out section controls:

Depth.

  • Depth Reference . Select geometry, such as an edge or an axis, in the same or a related view.

Use 3D drawing view mode to select an obscured edge for the depth.

Depth is set to the center of the circle.

Depth is set to silhouette edge of cylindrical face.

  • Depth .

Preview. When selected, the broken-out section is displayed as you change the depth. If there are other views in the drawing, the break and depth planes appear on the views.

Auto hatching. For assemblies only. If selected, the software adjusts automatically for neighboring components to alternate crosshatch patterns in 90 degree increments. If there are still adjacent section faces with the same pattern, the pattern spacing is adjusted.

Exclude fasteners. For assemblies only. Excludes fasteners from being sectioned. Fasteners include any item inserted from SolidWorks Toolbox (nuts, bolts, washers, and so on) except for structural members. You can also designate any component as a fastener so it will not be sectioned.
