Break View: Is there a way to break a view diagonally?

Hi John,

I'm on SW2014, and there is an option for an auxiliary break, which lets you put the break on any angle. You could also RMB the view and rotate it so it's either horizontal or vertical and add vertical or horizontal break.

Hello,

I don't believe you can align the part edges of a broken iso view. There are no options that I know of to do so.

You could cobble together multiple cropped views, align them using drawing sketch lines on a layer that can be separately hidden (after alignment).

Broken dims won't be valid for this approach.

As for "model break view", you need MBD Std, which I don't have so I can't help you there.

Cheers,

Kevin

I knew I had used this before but it looks like Kevin is correct. In 2015 you need MBD in order to use the model break feature. It is available to use in 2016 without having MBD. I would think you can make a configuration and cutout the section you don't want then use that in your drawing.

The screenshot is using 2016 without MBD. Of course you can break out as much as you want and use the config in your drawing.

Edit:... There are variations you can use alter what the break looks like.

Your easiest way to do this in your drawing is to place two breaks on the same view, one vertical and one horizontal. You will need to drag the breaks around a bit so they line up correctly. I do this all the time for stair stringers.
