Break Lines (DriveWorks Documentation)

Break Lines

Broken views can be captured and have the position controlled by rules. Once a break is added to the View of a captured Drawing it will be displayed in the Sheets and Views section as a Child of the View it exists in.

To capture the Break the Sheet and View must also be captured.

To Capture A Break

With the Sheet and View already captured

Select the check box next to the name of the Breakline to capture.

For breaks that require more placement precision it may be easier to create a Reference Plane in the model, that is captured, and dimension the break to the Plane in the View.

To Uncapture A Break

Uncheck the check box next to the name of the Breakline to capture.

If you uncapture a Breakline and save your Project, the action cannot be undone. Furthermore, if you have already created any rules for the Breakline, then they will be lost. Before uncapturing a Breakline, you may wish to make a copy of your Project.

Information

Once a Breakline is captured highlighting the captured item in the tree view will present some information about the Breakline that will be useful when building rules to control the position.

Orientation - Vertical or Horizontal, the orientation cannot be controlled.
Distance from Left - Displays the current distance (In the document units) of the first break from the left of the edge of the View.
Distance from Right - Displays the current distance (In the document units) of the second break from the right of the edge of the View.
