Set "break" command gap size

[wolfgrrlone]

I seem to remember a command for this but I';ll be doggoned if I can remember what it is.

Anyone else have a better memory than I do?

Thanks!

dunno if my memory's any better (although most likely longer) but that sounds like a custom implementation, or something possibly in one of the verticals, nothing that was ever standard in vanilla acad

I don't think so... You have subcommand 'F' (for 'First point') and then you pick the second one, but there is no distance you can specify for BREAK command. However as cadtag said, you can made up something custom based on macro or lisp scripting.

And my memory fails me yet again!

I got rid of the "F" thing by putting this in my ACAD lisp:

(DEFUN C:B () (COMMAND "BREAK" pause "F" )(PRINC))

No, you can't preset the gap in vanilla acad. Could be useful though.

However, it needs to be preset where the gap is in relation to the picked point... on the left hand side, in the middle or on the right, doesn't it?

PS.
How often do you use BREAK command? Personally, twice a year

[ccowgill]

I use my variation of the break command. Select the object, then your single break point. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to shortening it up.

I thought That I was the only person old enough to remember that the break command even exist.
