2-view alignment with and without breakage

2D plans Layout

Hello

Is it possible to align the breaks on 2 different conf views? Or to align these two views correctly?

Test 1:  when I do a front view (for example) of conf 1, apply a break. Then I create a front view of conf 2. I would like to align the 2 views correctly by the origin. But SW aligns them with a lag. And obviously this offset changes according to the broken length...

Test 2: I do my front view of conf 1, apply a break. Then I project view 1, so sw keeps the alignment ((normal because there is the option ds prop: align the interrupts with the parent). And I modify the ref conf compared to the parent view. And sw has a "personal" alignment...

If anyone has a solution, because for the moment it's a mano.

Or if you understood how it works with the original offset... and that you can explain it to me.

Thank you.

Hello Opiep,

Indeed, the operation is... particular!

A solution would perhaps be (depending on your expectations) to rate the positioning of the breakout. For example, you could dimension the ZIG with the left edge and the ZAG edge with the right edge of your workpiece. Unfortunately, this is an operation to be repeated on each view and the dimensions are not directly linked between the views. :-/

Can you give us an overview of your expectations so that it is more meaningful?

Okay, right-clicking on view 2 > properties and choosing align breaks with parent isn't enough?

This is what @opiep announces in his case 2, and a little test makes it very clear.

Hello

sorry, I was in my thing, I forgot to look at your answers... Here is a simple example with 2 conf in length.

What I want is to be able to find a point of alignment between the different conferences. And obviously my origin is on one end (not in the center).

Benoit.LF's solution would work: dimension the zig from the left edge Then the zag but from the left edge too. 

And do this on all views. SW makes the same offset from the origin, and interrupts the same amount on each view. So it keeps an alignment with the origin.

Well, I have to test this on my parts. And finding a break that works for the different views, that's not won yet...

Hello 

 

If you make the origins appear on the drawing, you will see that they are well aligned (a stroke of the Q ctrl may be necessary for the "re-calculation" to be done)

 

So, I'm afraid that it's a programming error at the level of Solidworks, or that it's a case that they didn't anticipate. Something like "you visually shorten the room but you keep the same place on the hidden drawing". A kind of ease

@opiep, I haven't tested, but have you tried to align your views after putting them in "uninterrupted view" mode?

@coin37coin: yes that's kind of what I'm trying to do right now, I draw a sketch line to then visually align the different interrupted views (or not).

@ benoit.lf: after the test:  when you go back to uninterrupted view mode, you have to realign between the views. And as soon as you return to interrupted view, you find a lag. On the other hand, the origins are correctly aligned.

I have to test with all the solutions given now...

I had tested your method @Benoit (alignment after interruption) ... well I was still not aligned! After that, I admit that I'm in 2011 and that it has probably evolved a little since then

 

The "aligned with the lines" option is really missing!!
