If there is consensus on this feature, then I may work to help implement it.You can use a broken (or interrupted) view in a drawing. Broken views make it possible to display the drawing view in a larger scale on a smaller size drawing sheet. You create a gap or break in the view using a pair of break lines. Reference dimensions and model dimensions associated with the broken area reflect the actual model values.

Re: Proposed feature: broken view

Would be very handy on a job I'm doing right now..
I had to use Inventor to do the drawing..
