Break views are common practice for some industries where long components do not fit well on standard sheet sizes at a useful scale.\u00a0 SOLIDWORKS has a function to break views in the Break<\/strong> tool in the Drawing<\/strong> toolbar.\u00a0 However, what if there is a projected view of that component that must also have a break?\u00a0 Do the breaks in each view automatically track with each other (match up)?<\/p>\n

Yup, but as with many\u00a0abilities in SOLIDWORKS, there’s a setting<\/a>.\u00a0 This setting allows\u00a0the user to determine if they want the projected view to always match up with the breaks in the parent view.\u00a0 This choice is important, as there may be very real purpose to not have breaks in views line up.\u00a0 For example, the parent and projected views may show details at different locations along the length of the component.<\/p>\n
