djp6 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hi Using 2008. How do you break multiple lines along a line? I.e. you have ten horizontal lines 3m long and one vertical line running down the centre of the 3m lines. I need to break the horizontal lines in two where they touch the vertical line without having a line smaller then 1.5m. On a single line I can do it using the F command and clicking twice on the intersection but is it possible to select multiple lines ant the same time and use the crossing line to cut along? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Personally, I would use trim, select the horizontal lines, use the crossing command to trim one side of the horizontal lines and then mirror the horizontal lines using the crossing option.

ReMark Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You can use Alan Butler's Breakall.lsp originally posted over at The Swamp. breakall.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qball Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I would copy the vertical line over a bit, Trim down the middle, Shift+Extend the lines that are too short and erase the dummy line . takes about 5 seconds. Cat's method is fewer commands, but they seem to take about the same amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The Breakall.lsp routine requires the user to select all the lines and it does all the "breaking". There is no copying the lines, no trimming, no "shift-extending, and no erasing. Takes about 0.05 seconds. I win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp6 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks for all your ideas and help, i loaded up the breakall.lsp, it loaded in ok, i typed the function BreakAll as asked but it returns a syntax error message after i select all lines to break!

ReMark Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Tested and run on 2010 with no problems so I don't see why it wouldn't work on 2008 unless you neglected to select all lines both horizontal and vertical. You didn't happen to open the lsp file, poke around in it then save it by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I thought I had a post gone missing here - then realised that djp6 had asked exactly the same question on another forum, and got exactly the same answers over there about mirroring and Breakall.lsp. I also gave him a button macro to speed up the task. What he has said over there is that the lines are not equal lengths, his 3m and 1.5m were just examples, and so the mirroring option wont work for him.. http://www.autocadeverything.com/help/showthread.php/5948-Breaking-multiple-lines-using-a-cross-line?p=23789#post23789 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I would go for trimming and extending. Cause lisps and macro´s I just use when I created them, so I know exactly what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the OP could try from an alternative computer and see if it works from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
