Creating Breaks in Objects

Using BREAK is a convenient way of creating a gap in an object, resulting in two objects with a space between them. BREAK is often used to create space for a block insert or text.

You can create breaks in

• Arcs
• Circles
• Ellipses and elliptical arcs
• Lines
• Polylines
• Rays
• Splines
• Xlines

When breaking an object, you can either

• Select the object at the first break point and then specify a second break point
• Select the entire object and then specify two break points
