I had a weird experience trying to create a broken view also. In my
drawing, I had a base view (View1) and a project view (View2) off of that
base view. I created a section view from the projected view (View2). Then,
I tried to create a broken view on the section view. However, whenever I
tried the broken view, elements disappeared from the original base view
(View1). View2 seemed to be unaffected. Ballons and dimensions that I had
used to annotate View1 then turned that pretty shade of magenta. So, I kept
undoing all the broken view stuff and eventually just gave up on it. I had
to get the drawing out the door. Frustrating to say the least.
