About Broken Views

This sub-topic provides miscellaneous information about broken views.

• You can create new breaks in a broken view, but in the same direction, provided the two breaks are not overlapping.
• You can remove existing breaks by right-clicking the view and selecting View Definition > Unbreak.
• You can create/modify a broken view which already contains a breakout profile.
• You cannot create offset section views and clipping views from a broken view. However, you can create detail views in a broken view. For more information about creating details views from broken views, see Creating a Detail View or a Detail View Profile.
• If a broken view is created after the creation of auxiliary callout, the callout is rendered invalid. The part of the auxiliary callout profile segment inside the broken region zone is seemingly non-existent. This behavior is also true for section callout profiles.

You can create/modify/visualize a broken profile in a view which already contains a breakout profile, and, which can be any one of the following types:

• Breakout in single zone
• Breakout partially in the broken region zone
• Breakout across the broken region zone
• Breakout completely in the broken region zone
• Breakout in neighboring broken region zone

For more information about breakout profiles, see More About Breakout Views.

This sub-topic provides information about line type in broken views.

You can assign a line type to the view to be generated. To do this, go to Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > Drafting > View expander, click Configure next to View linetype and select the required option from the dialog box.

This sub-topic provides information about the propagation of broken specifications to other views.
