Drawing - Isometric view - broken-out section
Drawing - Isometric view - broken-out section
(OP)
Hello
Is it possible to have a broken-out section in an isometric view in a drawing? Help doesn't say it is not possible?
I have an assembly which i require a broken-out section to display the frame underneath.
I have been able to create the broken-out section on an isometric view but it is not displaying. I have been selecting a edge to break down to - so direction does not seem to be the problem?
I am able to create broken-out section views on 2d views, so procedure does not seem to be the problem?
In the mean time i have put a cut in the assembly model under a different configuration.....this is not ideal.
thanks
Ryan

i had managed to get a broken view the same as you but the cut seems to be going into the page - rather than any particular plane.
I had been expecting that the cut would be on the top plane or front plane etc.
Unfortunately i cannot use it that way as i need to show the framing underneath, which requires a cut parallel to the top plane. So i have used a cut in the assembly model.
It would be a nice addition for future revisions. (I am using 2004 sp4)
Cheers anyway

I've had no problems using this method in any version of solidworks.

That is exactly what i had done, but it is not ideal because i had a face split for fea loading, which meant i had a bit of extra config work, but i got around it eventually.
The ideal solution would have been when you get to a drawing and you find that you require a broken view in a isometric, to be able to select a face in the isometric and then sketch a spline of which the cut is based, and then detail the depth of the cut.
Rather than having to go back to the original assembly and creating another configuration with a cut and then correcting all the other references.
I will make a suggestion to s/w.
