mikefulton Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I want to be able to split an object into two objects at the point(s) where another one intersects. Basically, it would do something like TRIM but with the deleted area becoming a new object instead. Is there a command that does this?

rkmcswain Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The BREAK command will do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefulton Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 The BREAK command will do this. The BREAK command was the first thing I tried, but it always seems to delete some portion of the object. Is there a way to avoid that?

neophoible Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Under Help's "To Break an Object": "3. Specify the second break point. To break an object without creating a gap, enter @0,0 to specify the previous point." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 BREAK command prompts to specify a [F]irst point then a 2nd point. As above, specify a distance of @0,0 However AutoCAD also comes with multiple BREAK tools accessible via the Ribbon, toolbars, or the menus to automate the process of breaking at a single point.

BIGAL Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If you have a look at the cui it reveals ^C^C_break \_f \@ this can be typed Break F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 enter @0,0 to specify the previous point." Interesting that the documentation says that, when all you really need is the "@" character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
