Hello! I am new to the forum and this is my first post!
I'm a Mech E student currently working on a project. On this project I have quite a lot of part references with balloons, and through their balloons I have a few dimensions annotated. I tried to break the dim lines at their intersection(dimbreak), but instead got a message "Selected object cannot be used to break the dimension" when selecting the balloons when using the dimbreak command.
I have used AutoCAD for a few years and I remember I have successfully executed this in the past, and upon looking up tutorials, it is clearly stated that dimensions can be broken by balloons.
AutoCAD Tutorial: Add or Remove Dimension Breaks
Both dimension and the balloons are created using AutoCAD commands, and are in their original state.
I have searched the forum and did not find any answer to this. Any advice would be appreciated!
My Attempt:
Using the "Auto" function breaks the dimension at the centerline and the detailed view's leader works just fine:
Thanks a lot!
