Break Dimension

Break Dimension

Break Dimension

(OP)
Hi,

  I'm trying to make a break dimension using WF 4.0. that will show a dimension from engine center to my feature area.

  I was instructed by another ProE user that erasing line entities would work.  However, when doing this, I got a double arrow on the area that I erased.  What is this?

  More importantly, how do I show a break line dimension with  a squiggle symbol?

Thanks
 

RE: Break Dimension

The double arrow indicates that end of the dimension is off the view.

A breakline dimension would do this to & would also confirm to ASME / ASNI standards.

  Is this a ProE thing?  Is there a way to show a breakline dimension with break symbols?

Thanks

RE: Break Dimension

Double arrowheads is an ASME standard for a dimension that has one end off the view.
