NX9 View Broken Edit
(OP)
We are trying to edit a view break that was created in NX7.5. After our update to NX9, we are unable to edit the view.
Can anyone assist me with this?
Thanks,
Jodie

RE: NX9 View Broken Edit
When using the new broken view in NX8.5, with dimensions, a few engineers have reported an error "the view break will result in hidden annotations" and the dimensions disappear.
I know there's a problem with using broken view and then sectioning it, where the section line will disappear (and a similar warning is given).
Vaguely remember someone saying this is fixed in a later release.
But has anyone seen the error with dimensions vanishing from the new broken views, and is there a workaround?
For the minute I've just told people to use the legacy broken view, but it would be good to use the new one.
Thanks, Carl

I've submitted a PR against this issue in NX9. I was told (unbelievably) that it has been moved to an ER.
In my case, it's when you add a centerline to the broken view. Any model updates trigger a view update and then the centerline gets hidden. Along, of course, with any dimensions that are attached to the centerline.
The work around, according to development, is to make use of the legacy function.

I was simply pointing out to Carl that the issue still existed, and what the workaround was.

Thank you both for the info, yes that's the workaround I've suggested as well.
It will be useful when the new view break is able to handle annotations and sectioning etc. ... anyone able to test it in NX10?

One of our engineers has suggested another workaround, which is to show centrelines from the model instead of including them in drafting, which of course works fine.
