MEP Rating

Hello
Is it possible to break these lines when the odds are too small and they intersect. It's very annoying because it is sometimes illegible.

Thank you

There is the " break lines" option in the " tie lines" tab of your dimension... but unfortunately, it only breaks at the crossing of the lines (between your dim 100 and your dim 10 for example)
But it doesn't take into account the text that cuts the line AT ALL. And there is no way to do it in manual mode like in Creo for example.

That said, it would be a welcome novelty for the readability of the plans

Hi, if you right-click on your dimension, Display Options and then Offset Text.
Or Right-click on the reminder line, View Options and then Off-hook.
I hope this answers your question.

Yes, it's an option, but it doesn't look like the standard scoring style where you have to break the tie lines around the dimension.
Unfortunately SolidWorks will always favor 3D modeling but in terms of MEP it is LABORIOUS!

I think it's cleaner to make a shift or a drop. But that's my opinion.
The discrepancy is mentioned by the cartoonist's guide, as for the unhooked I learned a very long time ago. It may no longer be relevant.
Our partners understand this, that's the main thing :slightly_smiling_face:

The dropout seems to me to be the most suitable.
Thanks for the info
