A dimension break is a space on either side of an entity that intersects a dimension or extension line. Adding a break keeps the dimension from looking as if it is a part of drawn entities, and it can add clarity where dimension, extension, or leader lines intersect. Dimension breaks can be applied to multileaders too. After a break is added, it is updated automatically when the dimension, multileader, or intersecting entity is modified. The size of a break gap is determined by the assigned dimension style. To break a dimension (or multileader) 1 Do one of the following to choose Dimension Break ( • On the ribbon, choose Annotate > Dimension Break (in Dimensions). • On the menu, choose Dimensions > Dimension Break. • On the Dimensioning toolbar, click the Make Oblique tool. • Type dimbreak, then press Enter. 2 Select the dimension or multileader that you want to break. To break or restore more than one dimension or multileader, choose Multiple, then select them. 3 Do one of the following: • Select the entity that crosses the dimension or multileader where the break is needed. • Choose Auto to place breaks at each point where the selected dimension intersects with other entities. • Choose Manual to add a break to the selected dimension or multileader manually, then specify two break points (not available when Multiple is selected). 4 When finished, press Enter.
To remove breaks from a dimension (or multileader) 1 Do one of the following to choose Dimension Break ( • On the ribbon, choose Annotate > Dimension Break (in Dimensions). • On the menu, choose Dimensions > Dimension Break. • On the Dimensioning toolbar, click the Make Oblique tool. • Type dimbreak, then press Enter. 2 Select the dimension or multileader that you want to break. To break or restore more than one dimension or multileader, choose Multiple, then select them. 3 Choose Remove to remove all existing breaks from the selected dimensions or multileaders. |
