Cropping a Broken View

Hello, I'm using Solidworks 2019 with the latest SP.

In a drawing, I try to crop a cross-sectional view from an interrupted view and obviously it doesn't work.

Is this resolved in the 2020 version?

How do you achieve the same result without using the crop function?

There is a way to do everything apart from the drawing but it's a hack...

Thank you.

Below is a screenshot of what I have to do to have the view cropped, at the top left, since I can't do it from the cut of the interrupted view below. If you have another solution, it will be welcome.

Finally I found a solution which consists of putting a cut line that doesn't go all the way to the end (here BB cut) and then removing the break lines in this cross-section view (which strangely move a little anywhere). It may not be the best solution but it works:

Bravo @pascal.babel 

Your approach is logical because with a cut line that goes all the way it conflicts with the interrupted view which has its own logic in the management of dimensions and other lines.

Kind regards

By right-clicking on the daughter view, there is a checkbox that determines the behavior of the breaklines in relation to the parent view.

@stefbeno, I don't see anything like that, could you send a screenshot of this famous box? Thank you.

Do you speak well under SW 2019 SP5.0?

This box has existed for a long time.
It seems to me that now it is checked by default.

In your case, the solution of making a partial cross-sectional view seems to me to be the best. This effectively forces you to remove the interruptions in view inherited from the master view.

Strangely enough, it doesn't have any effect for me.

I enlarged the cut line but it doesn't align the "breaks" of the view with those of the parent view. Or I use it badly.

 

This reinforces Zozo_mp's remark: the management of interruptions conflicts with the definition of partial cutting.
So, to show your different grooves, you have to make 1 cut per segment between 2 interruptions.

So the only method that exists is the one I apply.

Thank you and good luck.
