Parameters

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.
