Siemens NX Drafting: view break, lock view (freeze view)

Despite shortened display, all dimensions remain correct. Any number of break lines can be created. Isometric views can also be shortened or partially displayed. With the lock method “Snapshot” or “Complete” views can be frozen or locked to document old states of a part. As always, there is much to discover “by the way”. Reducing information (and in this case the length) …to the essentials is the strength of drawings. Focusing on what is necessary helps us to make decisions about function, effort, and development of a part or assembly.
