Lucid Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I would like to find a quicker way of breaking a line at a single point. Currently I do this: Command: br BREAK Select object: Specify second break point or [First point]: f Specify first break point: Specify second break point: But it would be much better if I could select the line, then select a point and be done with it.

Lucid Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I don't use buttons, but thank you for pointing that out. I played around with the macro for that button a little, but I can't get it to work correctly. If I use the "nearest" snap to select a point, it deletes one side of the line, and I would like to keep both. However if I select the point another way, for example by the endpoint of a separate line that ends on the line I want to break, it works fine. Either way, I guess I should start learning to write lisp routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have my macro's set up like this: *^C^C(command "break" pause "F" pause "@") to break at a specific point and *^C^C(command "break" pause "F") to break at 2 seprate points. Either set up a button on a toolbar or it could added for a keyboard shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigilante Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 This works beautifully, I had the same question a while back. Type BK, select the line, and immediately choose the intersection to break at, done. BK.LSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Cube Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 ALSO, right click then choose "Repeat Break at Point" This is especially important IF you intend on using the button for Break at Point (personally, I added it to the bottom-most portion of my right-click menu through CUI Editor )and not the lisp. Simply pressing space/enter/right-clicking will cause the 'Repeat Command' command to activate the regular BREAK command for whatever reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
