|- | 6 | Broken (interrupted) views |

  • Create broken views manually:
    1. Sketch two wavy or zig-zag lines close to the ends of a long part and extrude them towards the model creating surfaces for the cut
    2. Use the Part Slice tool to cut the model with these surfaces
    3. Hide the middle piece and move one of the remaining pieces towards the other
    4. Create a view of these objects
    5. If needed, make the lines of the cut dashed (using the TechDraw DecorateLine tool)
    6. If lines of the cut have to be extended, create a view of the sketch used in the first step and align it with the cut
    7. To obtain a proper value of the length of the cut part, you can either change the dimension value manually (after enabling the Arbitrary Text option) or link it to the distance between the end vertices of the original part
