Detail view of Breakout view 1

[wides]

I have a part that has an undercut, and i have represented this by using a broken view, but when i try to insert a detailed view of the broken section, the detail view reverts to "unbroken"

Is there any way to insert a detail view from a breakout view, and maintain the view as broken?

hope that makes sense,
thanks in advance

The detail view icon is on a flyout toolbar (you can expand it) with 3 other icons. One of these icons is the 'Quick Detail View' icon. Using this one will keep the detail view as a broken, just like it's parent view. I'm not sure if there are any other differences between this detail view and the normal detail view.

Hope this helps.

Thank you - i didnt consider that there would be a difference between detail and quick detail views.

On a related note does anyone know the best way to generate a dimension that doesnt extend back to the other point.

for example, i am currently drawing a cylindrical fitting that has an under cut at the end. I am trying to dimension the diameter of the cut, and the detail view shows this area.

When i try dimensioning the diameter it is "scaled up" and goes across the whole page!

I think you need to right click while you are still actively in the dimensioning mode, and click the "half dimension" mode. Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, but this sounds familiar...

I use quick detail view. The quick detail view is from the drawing view. Detail view is from 3D modle I think. Sometimes the deatil view can not update as mother view updated. Strange. But when I used quick detail view, there is no problem at all.
