Hi,

 

BREAKLINE is from Express Tools, which is not available in AutoCAD for Mac.

You can search the Internet for AutoLISP routines, that creates breakline symbols.

I have one, that I use on daily basics. You can try it - after you APPLOAD it to the drawing, use BRKL command to draw breakline. I attached two versions - one for metric units (1 AutoCAD unit = 1 mm - BREAKLINE.LSP), and other for imperial (1 AutoCAD unit = 1 inch -BREAKLINE-I.LSP). Both routines uses DIMSCALE variable to set scale factor of the breakline symbol.

Hi!

 

This LSP file worked great on Mac until I updated to Autocad 2017.2 version.  As you see from the photo, the breakline is now very small.  I'm not familiar at all with coding in LSP.  I appreciate if somebody can post a new version of this GREAT LSP file or guide me how to modify the file.

 

Thanks in advance for your help and time,

Hi,

"Native" BREAKLINE command from Express Tools available in AutoCAD for Mac since 2016 version.
When I look at the breakline symbol on your scareenshot, I see that right breakline was created not with LSP file I posted here in 2012, but with Express Tools BREAKLINE command from AC 2017.

This native BREAKLINE command has an option for the size of breakline symbol, you can set it before picking the first point of breakline.

Here is the link to online help topic about BREAKLINE from Express Tools:
