break center lines when crossing dimensions

It would be awesome if the centerlines were automatically breaked when they cross dimensions. that is possible to do on autocad.

Do dimensions need to be centered?

 

I see your point for other situations, but not the one in the graphic.

I really hope inventor can do that, but now I just use sketch to cut center lines.

Guys,

 

Inventor doesn't split the centerline at the dimension and this is a very frustrating behaviour for a long time.

I think it should be a basic function in the drawing.

 

Regards,

A possible solution for a new feature? Color dimension background. Dimension to the forefront. Axes on background.

Using function?

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2020 - line break for dimensions.png

 

Both Center- and Section lines don't break for Dimensions or Balloons while Dimension lines do break for Balloons. I hope this can be implemented in the future. I have issues with this almost on a daily base when working in drawing environment.

How about making a tab in the tool bar when creating drawings to easily change dimension fonts and sizes.  The biggest complaint I have from suppliers is the font size is too small and changing it is not always successful and is much more complicated than it needs to be.
