Break a line at a single point


Lucid

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

Thank you so much for uploading this. Exactly what I was looking for!:shock:

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)_/¯
