I am trying to create a break on a cylindrical part that will end up looking similar to the jpeg I have attached. I remember this being a standard thing when I was learning drafting techniques, however I am not sure if I can implement it in SW. Any suggestions?

Sketch your own. Don't hold your breath waiting for SW to address this issue. They only "fix" things that AutoCAD users find "nifty".
 
The Curve Cut option is the closest SW offers.

However, if you really want that "break" you can create a config in the model which has a cylindrical cut feature passing through the part at 45° ... but that's a lot of unnecessary work for something which should be so simple.
