wave (break type) line for partial section view
wave (break type) line for partial section view
(OP)
Another question resulting from mark ups...
I have created a drawing with a partial section view of a part: a mark up has been given to me requesting that the edges of the partial section view be wavey (that's my description, on the mark-up I have a nice little diagram, so as I don't get confused...) as opposed to the square edges I get by default.
Can this be done?

Can you scan and post an image of the mark-up?

I've included the section A-A and the view it creates, with notes. I was happy with the straight edges!

Create your section view like a normal drafter. Be sure you have selected 'hidden lines removed' for the view. Drag that section view off somewhere and lock focus on it. Sketch a spline around the section so that it makes wavy lines thru the outline of the section. This will be tedious and time consuming to get right. Select the spline then click Insert|Drawing View|Detail and wallah, you have it.

1. He is the one who pays me.
The only answer I tend to need is, "yes boss". Occasionally punctuated with, "I agree". ;)
Actually, on the whole he's pretty damn good, but there have been a few interesting requests made in the past...
Your solution worked perfectly, btw. I'll add - if I may - that once the view is created, you can pinch the note from the section and swap it with the view note.
I suppose my only complaint is a lack of alignment between the line A-A and the view. Think I can overcome that, however.
Thanks again!

For the most part SW attempts to follow standards, but in this case (IMO) the standards are just plain wrong.

Rule #2. When boss is wrong, see rule #1.
I worked for him, too, I think.
