Break a nailboard sketch

Use the Broken Sketch Entity command to break and shorten any segment or unrouted wire or cable wire in a nailboard sketch that does not contain a splice. The nailboard break symbol is placed in the position specified, and aligned with the segment or wire.

Only 1 break is allowed per harness object. You cannot break routed wires or cable wires, including the stubs and exposed wires , spliced wires, cable conductors, ribbon cables or any break symbol. Breaks cannot span multiple wires or segments, and do not affect lengths in a bill of materials.

In an active nailboard sketch, click Nailboard tab Edit panel Broken Sketch Entity . In the graphics window, select the 2 points on a segment, wire, or cable wire that represent the length to remove. In the Edit Break dialog box, optionally set an exact length of wire or segment to be removed, and then click the green check mark. If needed, click the symbol and drag it to adjust the position along the segment or wire. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to add multiple breaks to the same sketch.
