    How to Break Leader Lines over Geometry?

    Bummer I was hoping there might be away. If I were only to dimension the closest edge I would put a typical or similar note so there is no assumption necessary. On ProEngineer at my last job there was an easy way of breaking the lines how I want, guess solidworks has a little catching up to do.

    How to Break Leader Lines over Geometry?

    Scott, I can break leaders that intersect each other fine, what I want to do is break leaders that intersect the model geometry on the print.

    How to Break Leader Lines over Geometry?

    @ctopher Restarting solidworks makes no difference. @jassco I could do the 2X or CF note but I prefer to have a broken leader line. It was really easy to do in ProE

    How to Break Leader Lines over Geometry?

    @ctopher. The extension lines gap and 'beyond dimension line' were both .05 before and I adjusted the 'beyond dimension line' to .125. Didn't do anything for me.

    How to Break Leader Lines over Geometry?

    I need to break the leader lines of dimensions over geometry. I know there is the break lines button in the property manager but that only breaks a leader when it intersects another leader. Any help is appreciated. See pics of what I have and what I want...
