Solidworks Break Lines in a Drawing view
Solidworks Break Lines in a Drawing view
(OP)
Hello,
I have a cable with 4 wires and I want to only break the middle wire only for its longer then the others, all the wires are in the same direction and spaced equally apart.
When I try to break the one wire the break lines cover all the wires in the drawing view and they are are broken I don't want this.
I have tried to click on the end of the break line to see if I can control the length but it does not allow this.
I have gone to options, Doc properties, detail and click on "view break lines" and there is Gap and Extension values and I have adjusted the Extension values and nothing changes.
Any help will be appreciated.
Jeff

Imagine having 4 wires that are parallel to each other 1 inch apart and you only want to break wire number 2 and leave the others in tact not broken.
Using the broken view command it ask you to select the drawing view and then the break lines cover all the wires and ends up breaking all of them where I just want to break wire 2 only and leave the others as is.
I cannot find out how to tell Solidworks to do this I was hoping you could click on the ends of the break lines and drag them to only cover the area I want to break but it will not do this.
Thank you,
Jeff
