Two horizontal breaks
Two horizontal breaks
(OP)
I have a model that is over 2m long. I want to put 2 horizontal breats in it for a 2D diagram. I only seem to be able to put one in......am I missing something or can I not put 2 or more breaks into the view of the model?






RE: Two horizontal breaks
Not 100% sure, but I think up to 2005 you can only insert 1 break.
I don't remember.
In 2007 you believe can insert more than 1 break. I have not tried it yet.

I have SW2006 SP0. This is a pretty basic function and I'm supprised its not been in for years.
It just doesn't let me add more than one of the same type?!?
RE: Two horizontal breaks
Ummmm .... pretty basic stuff though!

Select the view again, add another horiz break, done.
Should work.

"Cannot insert a break in this drawing view.
The direction of the new break is not the same as the other break(s) in this drawing view."
If you need to show only 2 horizontal breaks, just insert both sets before you actually break the view.

Please tell me that this doesn't work in 2005 instead of "I didn't try any of the suggestions above".

"second hand" ????
"so the answer is" .... did you mean "so the question is"
"does 2005 definately have the feature or not?" ... I thought you were using SW06.
SW05 can only place one break, one direction only, per view.
SW06 can place multiple breaks, one direction only, per view.
Can you update to SP5? It may fix your problem.

Reaper.

RE: Two horizontal breaks
Just to square the books:
1) My point about 'does solid works 2005 have the feature?' inferred that, if it did, I was doing something wrong since they (solidworks) would not have dropped a feature.
2) 'Second hand' means I did not purchase the software new from a supplier and I can't get a service pack upgrade.
3) Apologies for the confusion with 'answer' and 'question' - that was me rushing.
4) I can now add more breaks. My problem was that when you add the first one you click the menu then click on the drawing. For the second and subsequent ones you have to click on the drawing where you want the break and then select the menu item.
Thanks for all the help and the gramatical corrections!

I'm glad to see other engineers are not so slack with their gra 'mm' ar and spelling.
Thanks for the google spell checker info.
