Which statement is true about the breaking of views?

When dealing with broken views in SolidWorks, one crucial aspect is understanding how they maintain their dimensional integrity. When a view is broken, it is possible for dimensions to still convey the true dimensions of the object being represented. This means that even though parts of the view are visually altered or 'broken' for clarity or spacing purposes, the original measurements remain accurate, allowing users to understand the actual size and shape of the components involved.

In contrast, once a view is broken, it may have visual distortions, but this does not render the dimensions information invalid. Dimensions that remain associated with the original model can still reflect true values, providing they are properly placed and communicated on the drawing. This characteristic is fundamental for ensuring that even with breaks to enhance visualization, the underlying object representation is still informative and reliable.

The other statements do not accurately reflect the functionalities and limitations of broken views. For example, a broken view does not mean that dimensions cannot be included or annotated; they can still serve their purpose of conveying information. Furthermore, while some annotations may or may not update automatically after breaking a view, not all do, so it’s important to verify their status manually. Understanding these nuances is essential for efficient drafting and modeling in SolidWorks.
