Unable to get Break out section in drafting
Unable to get Break out section in drafting
(OP)
Hi,
I'm unable to get the break out section view in drafting. A dialog box appears while selecting the command which says that lightweight drawing views are not supported for break out sections. What should be the base point, even after selecting the extrusion vector it doesnt allow to select the profile about which the the break out section is required. If the reason is beacause of the lightweight model please let me know how go around this.
Also while preparing a model I'm unable to constrain a line or circle to the edges of the model created prior to the sketch even after selecting the different filters. But I'm able to constrain the line with the edges while in Sheetmetal mode.
Thanks In Advanve.

Select the view that you wish to create the break-out in, press MB3, select the 'Style' option and open the 'General' tab. If the 'View Configuration' field ia NOT 'greyed-out', then change it from 'Smart Lightweight' to 'Exact'. However, if it is greyed-out, then you'll need to delete the view and recreate it making sure that you use the 'Exact' option.

After too many trial and error, I got rid of the Lightweight dialog box. Also I selected the view and then Selected Expand, drew a basic curve and then called it from the break out command, got the result I wanted. But still I'm unaware to how I should tackel this lightweight problem if it occurs in future.
Also while preparing a model I'm unable to constrain a line or circle to the edges of the model created prior to the sketch even after selecting the different filters. But I'm able to constrain the line with the edges while in Sheetmetal mode.
Thanks & Regards,
