Creating a Broken View

To create a broken view:

  1. Select a drawing view and click Break Tool_Vertical_Break_Drawing.gif (Drawing toolbar) or click Insert > Drawing View > Break.
  2. Set options in the PropertyManager:
    Option Description
    Add vertical break line Tool_Vertical_Break_Drawing.gif  
    Add horizontal break line Tool_Horizontal_Break_Drawing.gif  
    Gap size Sets the amount of space between the gap.
    Break line style PM_break_line_style.gif Defines the type of break line.

    In views with multiple breaks, the Break line style must be the same.

    A break line attaches to the pointer.

  3. Click in the view twice to place two break lines, creating the break.

    The view is displayed with a gap in the geometry. In addition to model geometry, broken views also support cosmetic threads and axes.

  4. Add additional break lines as necessary. To create horizontal and vertical break lines in the same view, add multiple breaks using horizontal and vertical directions.
