Create Broken View

[REDesigner09]

Hi Everyone,

I have a ortho or right side view & I would like to create a broken view to show the Engine Center Axis.

How can I do this to & have an 'S' style broken view? Currently, my engine center axis is horizontal datum. What do I need to do make it appear as a center line in the drafting side?

Using ProE 4.0

Thanks

Hi Users,

Does the lack of replies mean that users out here don't like using or creating Broken Views in ProE drafting?

I get part of the work instructions, but what I don't see is where to create the 'S' style breaks. When attempting, it seemed like the only options I had were to create a vertical or horizontal break view, which I had to pick part entities.

In this instance, I'm trying to show or demonstrate the origin or horizontal engine center line.


Who can answer?

Thanks for the assistance.

To get your axis to show as centerline display it as a datum axis.

Where to find S-curve setting?

It's the column all the way at the right hand side of the Visible Area category in view properties.
Direction|1st Break|2nd Break|Break Line Style
| | |

The available options on list are
Straight
Sketch
S-curve on view outline
S-curve on geometry
Heatbeat on view outline
Heatbeat on geometry

Using ProE 4.0

4.0 is the 4th version of ProE with the new "Wildfire" UI. There were 23 versions of Pro/E before that.

Hi Michael & Others,


I managed to make an S shape breakview, but it's not quite what I wanted.

Seems like the only way to create a breakview is to select two horizontal or vertical lines/edges from the part. This appears to be the approximate gap difference.

In this instance, I have an engine center line or axis that I'm trying to present. The only areas & I need to gap is the empty radial distance between the engine axis & bottom of part.

How can I get this area?


Do I need to fudge in some lines in this area or do I need to have 2 separate views, then break one of those views?


What are your suggestions?

Sometimes on complicated/tricky break away views, I have created and exploded view.....move the parts/sub-assemblies for the best possible viewing....or....you can remove (hide Parts/sub-assemblies) from the view that are not needed, and create a note that reflects the hidden items. Sometimes you have to get creative within the Pro/E boundaries....to eliminate failures/erros.
