Break Lines in Drawings 2007

If you break the front view first, and then project it, the projected views are also broken

You can also tell it to align the breaks if done later.

Matt, That was too easy

Thanks, Kman

Can you explain in more detail or point me to something in help files.

You know, I called tech support last week and asked the same question. The fellow I was conversing with scratched his head for ten minutes on this problem and decided it couldn't be done.

I appreciate the help, thanks

In the menus, Tools, Break Alignment doesn't mean to align the breaks it means to break the alignment between views.

This is the only thing I'm aware of that even sounds like aligning breaks. Even when a broken view is projected, the breaks don't stay aligned.

I don't think any such alignment exists.

What I am talking about is "broken views, align with parent" (look it up) which is where you have a projected view that you have created. You then later decide you need to break the views, so you add the breaks. Then you figure that you would prefer to have the breaks line up between the two views, so you go to the properties of the projected view and check the box that says "Align breaks with parent". Wasn't that the question at the start of this thread, or did I misunderstand something?

Is this SW2006 or only SW2007?

Thanks,

Should have known better than to doubt you. Sure enough. There it is. Pretty obscure place to put it, though.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Wayne,

I did a search for the words "break", "alignment", "drawing", "view", "projection" and came up dry. And sure enough searching "properties" + "drawing views" is were the instructions were tucked away.

Thanks for your help!

It was there in 2006, but I don't remember if 2005 had it or not. I don't still have that loaded so I can't check.

WT

I did not know this feature existed, thanks!
