Im Sure people have had this issue in the past especially with piping .

I am wanting to break a view as there is part of the view not necessary to be present on the drawing sheet.

I am required to have this as an isometric view.

My issue lies withe the break lines, they obviously reach to the top of the window to show the whole view has been cut and leaves you with break lines as shown in the pic.

Is there anyways to avoid this , seeing as you cant crop the view once "break" has been activated .

I did toy with the idea and this is what Ive gone with , 2 cropped views pulled together to make what looks like a correct broken view, but again its not good practice as the two cropped views are in no way related to eachother and only serves an aesthetic purpose, although it works for what I require now. So Thanks everyone

I'm not real clear on what you're trying to do. If you want to shorten the break lines in this view, I don't know of any way to do that. You can move them into a Layer that's turned off if you just want to hide them. If that's the case, I've had an issue that I believe started with SW2014 where if I move break lines into a Layer that's turned off, they will be visible in the color that's assigned to the hidden layer until I open the Layer properties box, show the Layer, then hide it.

Using 2014 I do not seem to have that problem

Hi Wayne,

You do not have that problem as you are breaking a view of a single item. Mine has a view different weldments.

What would be nice if you could edit the lines the same as the section lines. Section lines you just need to right click and select "Edit Cutting Line"

That should be a good enhancement request, could be a glitch, after looking at Wayne's results

Use crop view instead.
