Creates a "break" in the parent view.
IvDrawingViewBreak must be instantiated as a child of a view. It cannot be instantiated in any other context.
Typically you will specify the parameters breakPointPart1 and breakPointName1, and either breakLength or the "breakpoint?2" parameters.

LightweightPart
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
breakPointPart1 | part | Part that contains the point that defines the break zone. This part must be a component of the model displayed in the parent view. |
breakPointName1 | string | Name of a named vertex or work point within breakPointPart1. |
breakPointOffset1 | number | Specifies an offset from the named point . The offset point is used to define the break zone. The offset is defined in model size, but the point is offset along the break's orientation. |
orientation | name | Specifies the orientation of the break, either :Horizontal (the default) or :Vertical. |
breakLength | number | Length of the break zone, in model units. This length is centered on breakPointOffset1. If this parameter is supplied, then the "breakPoint?2" parameters are not necessary. |
breakPointPart2 | part | Part that contains the second point that defines the break zone. This part must be a component of the model displayed in the parent view. |
breakPointName2 | string | Name of a named vertex or work point within breakPointPart2. |
breakPointOffset2 | number | Specifies an offset from the named point. The offset point is used to define the break zone. The offset is defined in model size, but the point is offset along the break's orientation. |
breakStyle | name | Specifies the break style. Valid values are :Rectangular and :Structural. Default is :Rectangular. |
displayLevel | integer | Specifies the appearance of the break lines. Valid range of values is 1 through 10. For rectangular break style, this value controls the quantity or pitch of break edges displayed. For structural break style, this value controls amplitude of break line. Default value is 5. |
gap | number | Specifies the gap between the break lines. If zero, which is the default, a gap value is automatically calculated based on the view size. |
numberOfSymbols | integer | Specifies the number of break symbols to use for a structural style break. Valid values are 1, 2 and 3. This argument is not applicable and is ignored for rectangular style breaks. Default value is 1. |
