Hello
In Solidworks on a drawing, I'd like to place a line at the end of a part to mean that it's actually larger, but anything on the left doesn't care. A bit like in this image:
It's different from
- a break line that breaks in the middle and shows the ends,
- a detail view that zooms,
- a cross-section view that "fits" the room.
Thank you all
Either you make a break line with the right part that interests you and the line of the left part on the outside to "hide" what you are not interested in.
Otherwise you make a cropped view. You draw a sketch around what interests you and then you go to view => cropping. And only what you like will remain in your sight
I tried both solutions:
With the break lines I can't get the 2nd line out of the room. As if Soliworks required that the two break lines be placed on the part.
The cropped view could suit me if I managed to have this broken appearance at the edge, something I didn't manage to do by default.
Do you have an extra tip?
Thank you
It's still DIY but you can make a break and adjust the size of the interval so that your second line (and therefore the rest of the room) ends up outside the plane.
Agree with @coin37coin for the cropped view. As for the side break look, you'll get it by drawing it! You can use any closed sketch to make a cropped view, if I'm not mistaken, not just a rectangle.
Something like that?
But what if the break only takes place on the left? because the piece is no longer centered in the page after.. :s
I agree with you, it's DIY.
I'm going to get away with 'trimming' and a custom-drawn sketch. Thank you for the support:)
That's what we come here for: mutual aid! :)
Ho ba damn, I missed all the development.
As Benoît said, all shapes of sketches correspond for a crop. So you draw it as you like (square, circle, free form, a conjugation of shapes, etc)
@coin37coin: Lynkoa is ruthless: questions even on holidays! :)
Hello
I'd like to revive this thread because the solution of cropping the view with a custom-made sketch is painful on "quantitative" work.
Doesn't Solidworks offer a more suitable tool?
The goal is to interrupt the view, as in these examples :
