broken-out section view in a detail view?

broken-out section view in a detail view?

(OP)
Has anyone succeeded in making a broken-out section view within a detail view using sw2006sp5?  I can make a broken-out section view in the view the detail view references, and it then appears in the detail view, but I want the broken-out section view to be in the detail view only.  Thanks.

My head hurts!!!

So you want to create a broken-out section view from a detail view which has been made from a normal view ... right?
Detail and Broken-out views can be problematic at the best of times ... combining them is asking for trouble.

Make a copy of the parent view.
Create the broken-out section.
Crop the view to suit.
Enlarge the scale to suit.

cheers

RE: broken-out section view in a detail view?


cmm...I’m not sure of or fully understand the question…you may want to re-word it for clarification but I think you’re trying to create a ‘broken out section’ view from a ‘detail view’…as in Detail ‘A’ or possibly Section ‘B-B’. If so then SolidWorks doesn’t let you do this. I get this message when I try to do a ‘broken out section’ from a detail view in SW2007…”Broken out section view may not be created on a detail, section, or alternate position” and then the ‘broken out’ section icon dims and can’t be selected. This might be obvious but if I can’t perform the action in SW2007, it’s possible it can’t be done in SW2006 either. Maybe someone else knows differently…

You seem to be correct edsongebo.  SW2006 doesn't give an error message, hence my confusion.

Try creating a new drawing view, then do the break-out section. Then after that, sketch a circle and try doing a cropped view.
