How to break a line when inserting a block?

Hi,

 

Is there a way to set up autocad(2004) so that when I insert a block, the block then automatically breaks the line I am inserting it on. My drawing's are mostly electrical schematics so the line I am refering to is the circuit and my blocks are components. At the moment I insert my block and I have to use the command 'break'. I know this does not take up a lot of time but I am always looking for ways to speed up!

 

Thanks for reading.

Yes it's possible - we have the same thing for piping line diagrams. Inserting a valve symbol etc trims the line. I've no idea how it's done though.

This doesn't break the line but if you create a block with a wipeout it will hide the entities behind it. I've attached a simple one for an example. Try toggling Wipeout frames on/off to see how it works.
