Use a polyline to automatically split other polylines

[nrschmid]

I have a bunch of intersecting polylines. I would like to extend one polyline in one direction, and then have that polyline divide other polylines into separate parts. Can this be done? Is there an lsp file or plugin that I need?

 

Thanks-

Credit where credit is due... to CAB

CAB is doing well today. That's two that have been accredited to him.

thanks for the file. New to using most lsp's. I saved the filed as breakobjects.lsp and loaded it into CAD. What commands can I use? Does part of the text not need to be copied over? Thanks-

Nrschmid There are several commands to start this lisp, usually listed at the top if you open the file in a notepad or another text editor these are the commands listed and what they do. This one is cool I am trying to learn too...

 

;;; Function c:BreakAll - Break all objects selected

;;; Function c:BreakwObjects - Break many objects with a single object

;;; Function c:BreakObject - Break a single object with many objects

;;; Function c:BreakWith - Break selected objects with other selected objects

;;; Function c:BreakTouching - Break objects touching the single Break object

;;; Function c:BreakSelected - Break selected objects with any objects that touch it

Usually after you load a lisp in the command window it shows the command to start the routine like this :

 

C:BREAKSELECTED

The .lsp should be complete; there is nothing that "not need to be copied over".

nrschmid,

 

Further to what lpseifert said, it is bad practice to alter someone's Lisp without their permission.

Well thanks for the update. I am also having to reload the lsp files each time I restart AutoCAD through appload. Anyway around this problem (I am thinking click on startup suite?)

[Guest Alan Cullen]

Find or create a file called acaddoc.lsp, the add this line to it (load "lispname.lsp"), where lispname is the name of the lisp file you want to load. Then save the acaddoc.lsp to the support folder of your acad installation.

Is this lisp still available?
