Broken-out Section
A broken-out section view cuts away a portion of an assembly in a drawing view to expose the inside. Cross hatching is automatically generated on the sectioned faces of all components.
A broken-out section is part of an existing drawing view, not a separate view. A closed profile, usually a spline, defines the broken-out section. Material is removed to a specified depth to expose inner details. Specify the depth by setting a number or by selecting geometry in a drawing view.
You cannot create a broken-out section on a detail, section, or alternate position view. If you create a broken-out section of an exploded view, you cannot collapse the exploded view.
