Most other view types have an option to dimension the view or lock it in some way to the model geometry. The Break view doesn't have this functionality and I cannot understand why. There is a snap point on the break symbol so can you add the option to dimension to this point?
This would also be quite valuable when creating a drawing for parts using model states that drive the part length. It would significantly simplify drawing creation for these parts when a separate drawing is required for each length variation.
I would like to be able to dimension the location of a break in a drawing view so that is always xx" away from the end of a part. This would be similar to how a section view sketch or a crop sketch can be edited and dimensioned.
This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2026. Please review the Inventor 2026 What's New article here, for more information regarding how you may leverage it. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for this capability.
