Broken View Tool

Use the Broken view tool to add breaks to shorten an existing view.

Broken views are a way of foreshortening long views without changing the scale.

When you break a view, a new view is created and both the original and the new view are converted to partial views. An alignment is set up to match the cut orientation.

Creating a Broken View

  1. Click a view geometry to set the start of a break.
  2. Click again to set the end of the break.
  3. Use the options panel to control the Cut Direction, Break Line and Default Gap.
