Dimensioning

[solidhardhead]

Is it possible to break a view around a dimension? I tried the "Broken View" command but it does not allow me to hide the break lines.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't understand the question.
Can you post an image of what you are trying to achieve?
See faq559-1100

Correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you're trying to trim the break lines to the edge of the part?

Yes I am trying to break a line of a part

Go to Tools > Options > Detail see the Break line extensions setting.

Set that to Zero and it will eliminate the breakline extending past the part line.

Bradley .... That must be your IT peoples doing. Can you access them from home?

CorBlimeyLimey,
Yes it is our IT. I can see it from home.

But how do I eliminate the break line all together? I just want to break the part lines without leaving any other lines. Very similar to how to looks when you break dimension lines around one another.

 

[handleman]

I think I understand what you're wanting. You want to have a "gap" in the object line (part edge) for the dimension's witness line to pass through. I don't think you can do that. I'm not too familiar with dimensioning standards, but I doubt that would be acceptable under any of the "standard" standards.

 

[Heckler]

I would just change the line type of the breakline so it appears to be a part line. Anything more than that I think you're asking for something that is not "standard" in drawing practices.
