NX8 Drafting: Diagonal view breaks?
NX8 Drafting: Diagonal view breaks?
(OP)
Hello there
We've recently upgraded from NX6 to NX8 and one of the great new features is the view break-function which I am trying to use.
I've got a piping assembly which is too long the drawing to be readable, and I'm therefore shortening the pipes with the view break-function. It gives me the choice to put the break perpendicular or parallel to the point on the line I choose. Works like a charm. However, when trying to do the same on the diagonal part of the pipes, perpendicular or parallel means "vertical or horisontal", so-to-speak.
How do I shorten this diagonal pipe section here?
