I have a question for you Lisp/CAD gurus.
Is there a way to allow a line have a mask similar to text. That way, when you overlap lines, it will automatically create a visual break, even though the line is not really broken?
If so, how would you go about doing it, if not, bummer. :)
Thanks.

wipeout and draworder.

In the early days ( ~1980 ) I was working with Computer Vision Cadds4
and there it was possible to add “hidden” to a part of a line wherever you wanted so it is not impossible.

Just tell/ask AutoDesk to implement it.


: ) Happy Computing !

Not sure what you are trying to do with the line break (mask). I use a similar type of thing for inserting valve symbols for process flow diagrams and a lisp routine for breaking lines, but this physically breaks and not masks the line. The block is also dynamic so all the symbols are in one
