break to break at point command

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to change te Break command permanently in the Break at Point command?
I never use break, only break at point.

Changing te macro for break ^C^C_break to the macro for break at point ^C^C_break \_f \@ doesn't work.

To do it manualy at the command prompt takes to much keyboard entries and mouse clicking.

And I didn't find a system variably to control this

(defun c:Break ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq osnap_mode (getvar "osmode"))
(setvar "osmode" 512)
(setq pt1 (getpoint "\nEnter Point to Break object"))
(command "break" pt1 pt1)
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)
(setvar "osmode" osnap_mode)
(princ)
)

Here's a quickie that I have been using for years!!!
Most previous employees who left behind our menu system call back to request this.

(defun c:BA ()(command "Break" pause "f" pause (getvar "lastpoint"))(princ))

Break At...
Does not work on closed polylines.

Are you shure your macro doesn't work ?
In the standard toolbar DRAW is a button Break At Point with your macro.
It does what it should do.

May be you forgot a space behind F ?
Osnap gives problems, so you should switch it off.

^C^C_Break;\f;'osnap;none;\@

I don't like spaces in macro's, so I used ;
This solution works also in Autocad LT !

The lisp methods may work better anyway.

The AutoCAD built-in Break at Point does not work well because of AutoSnap. AutoSnap has to be temporarily turned off (important!!). I've written the following Lisp which allows user to select and object, and followed by picking a break point, command will be sent out with AutoSnap turned off temporarily.

(defun c:ba (/ obj pt1 osmode cmdecho)

  (setq obj (car (entsel)))
  (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSpecify break point: "))

  (setq osmode (getvar "osmode"))
  (setq cmdecho (getvar "cmdecho"))
  (setvar "osmode" 0)
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)

  (command "break" obj pt1 pt1)

  (setvar "osmode" osmode)
  (setvar "cmdecho" cmdecho)

  (princ)
