Broken view in drafting; NX5
Broken view in drafting; NX5
(OP)
I have a part that is 8' long and need to "cut" it three times to capture everything in the drawing. I am trying to use the broken view tool, but it is only allowing me to "break" it one time. Does anybody know how to do this or understand what I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advance,

I guess that may be the case and that the solution becomes to create curves for the break points and use them in generating a "Break Line/Detail" boundary manually. If you're on NX-5 or lower the technique is usually achieved using expand member view to create the break line curves. You may be familiar enough to forgo a blow by blow account of the workflow, but if not post back.
I believe that expand member view may not exist under NX-6 so I'm interested to hear what the technique would be going forward.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

You can create it in NX2, NX4 as well.
