You can modify a broken view. More precisely, you can modify individually each broken area of the view.

Before you begin: Open a generative drawing containing a broken view to modify.

About Broken Views
  1. To switch the broken view to modification mode, you can perform either of the following operations:
    • Double-click one of the profiles (lines) symbolizing the break.
    • In the tree, under the view you want to modify, expand the View Specifications node and double-click Break.n.
    The view switches to modification mode. Two lines appear, symbolizing the broken area.

  2. You can now modify the broken view.
    • To modify the location of the broken area, move the break lines either individually, or together using Ctrl.
    • To resize a break line, drag the handles at the end of the lines either together, or individually using Ctrl.
    The broken view is modified accordingly.

    Note: If the view already contains a breakout operator profile, still you can modify the broken profile as desired; by fully covering the breakout profile, partially covering the breakout profile or not covering the breakout profile. In the following example, the broken profile is modified by partially covering the breakout profile:



    It also shows that you can visualize the broken profile with no restriction on a view having an existing breakout operator profile.

  3. Once done, click in the sheet to exit the modification mode.

    Important: After the broken view is modified in 2D, it changes its original state to manual mode.

    It means that the extremities of the broken callout are fixed and it will not resize automatically even if the view's bounding box gets resized.
