Interrupted view

Menu access : View | Interrupted view

Description :

Allows you to create an interruption on a view.

General philosophy :

1. Select the view you want to interrupt

2. Choose the reference direction fort the two parts :

•  Reference direction= X

•  Reference direction= Y

3. Choose the trimming curve geometry :

• : curve already built in the view.

•  LINE  between two points.

•  B-SPLINE  by interpolation between several points.

4. Choose the position of the second curve (which moves according to the chosen reference direction).

5. Then, you can :

•  STOP  : confirm.

• Or interrupt the view on a second (or more) place.

Available option(s):

The button  LIKE AN INTERRUPTED VIEW  allows you to interrupt a view the same way than an other one.

This is only possible between a main view and one of its auxiliary view. (impossible between 2 main views or between 2 auxiliary views).

Example(s) :

Specific point(s) :

If the document contains only one view, the selection of the reference view is not required.

You can use this function only once on the same view. If you want to interrupt the view on several places, you must do it in one time without leaving the function.

The trimming curves must not be tangent with a line of the view (using the B-SPLINE can help you getting round this problem).

The dimensions must be created after the view has been folded.

Interrupted views and detail views cannot take the "shading view" mode

Available modification(s):

With the icon , you can modify the projection parameters of the view.

Use the function View | Fold/Unfold to swap between the interrupted view and the original view.
