cross section arrows in broken views

[MartinBooker]

Scratching my head a bit with this one.....


I have created a broken view of a long shaft and also asection view through it to show some hole details towards one end of the job.


My problem is that when I select the broken view for where I want to put my section arrows it places them where the arrowswould be if the viewwasn't broken ???





Does that make sense ?

Try repainting the views or regen the draft entities, it might clean up by itself, otherwise sounds like a bug.

Tried regenerating draft and model but no different.


Closing the drawing down, re-starting Pro-E and re-loading the drawing has helped on other 'glitches' before but not this one !

Your ref datum plane used for your section view must be dim from the far side of break in your part. You must not dim across the break.


Hope this helps

Ok, just tried that john but

it still didn't work.


The plane I had used was indeed dimensioned from the wrong side of the break so I added a new plane to reference for the cross section, dimensioned from the correct side of the break and then 'broke' the component. The view shortened but the section arrows still stayed where they were.....


I've fudged it now and added some hand drawn section lines but I'd still like to know why it doesn't work as it should because I have a familly of similar parts to produce drawings for.

Martin,


One more thing to try....


Add a dim to your drawing, in the broken view from the end of the part to the section line you created. Isthisdistance close to the dim you used to define your cutting plane for the section?
