Zig Zag brak line in Inventor
Hi,
As needed I need to draw a dividing line.
Is it possible to load this linetype using _LINETYPE in Style Manager.? This is possible in AutoCAD!
Best regards

To get this style of break line in Inventor: When placing a break, select "structural style" and then change the "Symbols" to 2. This will remain the default for this drawing until you change it to something else.
Adis Ljubovic 12 Nov, 2023 12:15 PM Thanks Bob, that's certainly a good solution to my problem and I'll be using it. But due to different drawing needs I wanted to have a break line with a single (not double) segment, I thought it was possible in Invetor. I have to say that it's a bit strange considering that when we draw sketches we can use many types of lines, but not zig-zag
Bob Wiley 12 Nov, 2023 12:30 PM Inventor forces you to stick to the accepted standards. A single segment would be considered incorrect for a break line
Bob Wiley 12 Nov, 2023 12:31 PM You might try setting the gap to zero. Or if it won’t accept that then some very small distance. It still draws two segments but they would be so close together that they would appear as one.

Also you cad use Sketch Symbol and define zigzag symbol.
Adis Ljubovic 12 Nov, 2023 12:17 PM Thanks Ebrahim that's a good tip as an alternative solution I did the same as you. The disadvantage is that we have to use additional routines if we need to extend a broken line such as a rectangular path
