Multiple breaks in a broken view, Space segments?

Multiple breaks in a broken view, Space segments?

Multiple breaks in a broken view, Space segments?

(OP)
I am trying to create a broken view in Solid Works with multiple breaks.  The problem is that after I create the multiple break lines, I can't space out the segments of the view.  I can move the break lines, but when I break the view, the break lines show, but with no spacing between them.  I have tried this several times to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Multiple breaks in a broken view, Space segments?

Tools\Options\Document Properties\Detailing\ Break lines (Bottom Right hand corner) You should see "Gap" Change the gap to a larger number and click "OK".

You must do a Ctrl-Q to get it to update.

2005 SP01.1 has a fix for this.

Thanks for the help.  I had overlooked that setting.  Somehow, it still doesn't work well for the first break in the view though.  The first break keeps coming out with a wider gap than the rest.  Can't seem to mak ethem all match.

I had the same problem and turned it in to SolidWorks approx 1 month ago. I upgraded to SP01.1 yesterday, it's seems to have fixed it.
