Crop/trim components in view

[grunt58]

I have a component that is shown as phantom in a view for visual and reference dimensions. I have some dimensions that overlap it can I crop out part of the component? Screen shot attached. The catch is it is an alternate position view or I would do a broke out section to remove a section but that is not allowed in an alternate view. In AutoCad one would probably just trim the lines etc.. Anything like that in SW?

You should be able to crop. Just make sure that your spline goes around the part you want to keep.

Have you tried using the Hide/Show Edges tool?

Thought of it, a lot of lines to hide and it would not be a nice spline type cut. Crop doesn't seem to want to work, I make a closed profile but the icon is greyed out. I'm guessing the alt position in affecting it. I'd rather not but only thing i can think of is to cut in the model and add a configuration.
