CAXA - Extension line break when dimensions cross.

Hi Forum,

This seems like a basic Drafting question, but for the life of me i cant find any way to break a dimension extension line in CAXA..

Is this even possible to do in Caxa? Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Hi Peter,

While there isn't a specific tool in CAXA for this, the attached video demonstrates how to create Visual Breaks in Extension Lines using Wipeouts (to create the same end result).

Thanks Malcolm..

I hadn't actually thought to use a wipeout..Its a good work around for sure. 

I think i will add this as an  enhancement request. Its kind of a drafting basic rule is it not. I know it exists on the ICD environment.

Until then i will use the wipeout method you described.
