Breaking views
Breaking views
(OP)
I have 2 views (front and top) of a part in a drawing. These are very long parts, so I am gonna break view them. Now if I insert Break View lines in the 2 views individually, then there is no way to guarantee that AFTER breaking, these views will be equal in length to each other. I can align the break lines by eyeballing them but that's not good enough. Can I break 2 or more views "together" so that they still appear the same length AFTER breaking?
Thanks
Thanks

Both views will be equally the same in length.

RE: Breaking views
That if you change the location of the breaks in your front view the projected view will not update accordingly. At least it doesn't on Solidworks 2001Plus.
Hopefully this is a bug that was fixed in later versions.
(Wish the company I currently work for could have enough money to upgrade the company to 2005)

Are you sure you did not have some filter turned on preventing you from selecting model edges.
That would be the only reason I could think of of why you can't select model edges to dimension.
