This may sound tedious, but it was far more productive than viewing the very large assembly in drawings where it was not necessary. I did not want to show the irrelevant extent end in a break view detailing a 'middle part', so I represented what I desired by another means. It was also a reaction to the drawing limitation that a Break view cannot be open-ended, but must also show the far end of the view, AFAIK using 2018. There's always more than one way to achieve desired results in context.
That is, I placed the Zig-Zag inside the solid body, to appear in its view. The sheets containing system views only showed that subassembly.
I created zig-zag cuts at the header's ends, twice to show in both plan and front views. Each system was a subassembly, and included an enveloped partial representation of the continuous header. In one previous use, I wanted to indicate that a series of systems were connected to the same linear pipe header, without the additional load of the complete assembly from which to crop or break the view.
(click on the pic below for the GIF file) Well, on that note, you cold probably draw in 1 zig and 1 zag, then pattern it.or whatever. This is still not what you want, but a kludge that is difficult to manage and repeat. Maybe explode the end blocks where you'd like to trim it. You could instead, not explode it and line multiples of these up to make a longer line. You could make this a library block, which could be inserted, exploded and then and dragging its ends would lengthen it, but it would have the same number of zigs and zags, only larger or with a more obtuse angle between them, depending on its relations applied. I've made similar 'constructs' where a straight line is drawn on a layout layer which I later turn to hidden, then I sketch a series of parallel lines across it and define each as equal length. However, its only controls are minimum arc radius and Line Style, also defined as linear-only types of gaps and dashes. I thought that a Revision Cloud may be useful to try this.
