Misalignment - Break command

[drawingsCHR7R]

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to find out if there is a way for me to rectify the break command to be in line or how would I go about using the break command on an angular arm but still allow it to be in line. 

Attached you can see the result of it when I use it on an angled arm.

Thanks.

I don't think what you ask for will be treated correctly by the overall dimension. In the representation as you have shown - the total height of the item will still be shown correctly. But if the branch is shortened along its axis - how the overall height will be read?

Cheers,

Igor.

Ahhh, I understand what you're saying. Nonetheless is there no way around this? As that does not look neat at all.

There is this idea over on the ideaboard that's exactly about what you're describing:

Sadly, it's still a "future consideration" so it can take a while before this shows up in Inventor.

Apparently not. Yes, such a view looks a bit odd. But it is not a show stopper, really.

Cheers,

Igor.

Thanks for sharing this, it is truly unfortunate that even 7-8 years later after it was brought up it has still not been addressed. I have voted for it and I am hoping they give it more attention soon. 

Thanks again.

Not a show stopper I agree, but can definitely create some confusion with factory workers.
