      <title>Offset for a callout, Is there a shortcut for this result?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello everybody&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I do drawings&amp;nbsp;that have to have call outs. However, sometimes the call out line crosses with lines of the drawing so every call out line has to have an offset of .025, this way, the line only touches the item im&amp;nbsp;calling.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Currently, I do an outside offset on the line both ways, then I use trim and cut everything inside. Sometimes my figures have up to 50 call outs and I have to do this process that is very time consuming.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way I could to this faster? I thought maybe i could put a blank line below my callout line, that had the width of the offset. Or maybe two blank rectangles that had the space of the line between them. I'm new in AutoCad and I'm having some trouble trying to solve this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Note. I copy and paste my drawings to word with paste special Picture (Windows Metafile) so it has to look the same as autocad.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Example.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="This is the line going through other lines before i do the offset" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/380367iAB1C2A5DC87D6359/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="before.PNG" alt="before.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Offset on call out line" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/380369iC3A27E3CC59AA06F/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="offset.PNG" alt="offset.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="After trim and deleting offset lines" style="width: 693px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/380368iCA2456DCF7909E0C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="result.PNG" alt="result.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Last picture is the result I need.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yes you can achieve your goal by using &lt;STRONG&gt;Wipeout&lt;/STRONG&gt; command. make a rectangle (see below image) that rectangle represent the trimmed area that you want to reach and it will be hidden by&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;WIPEOUTFRAME&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;system variable = 0 . then convert the line with the wipeout frame&amp;nbsp;to block .now you will get your issue in a way that where ever you move the block you will get trimmed area. see attached &lt;U&gt;TEST.dwg&lt;/U&gt; file for your test. this is the idea and you can do it as you need.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Command: WIPEOUTFRAME&lt;BR /&gt;Enter new value for WIPEOUTFRAME &amp;lt;0&amp;gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="hh.png" style="width: 440px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/380376i8EB9A899F92D7C02/image-dimensions/440x146?v=v2" width="440" height="146" role="button" title="hh.png" alt="hh.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Note :&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; when you use wipeout command with other CAD elements you have to use also&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;DRAWORDER&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;command to make items display as you wish.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Command: DRAWORDER&lt;BR /&gt;Select objects:&lt;BR /&gt;Command: DRAWORDER&lt;BR /&gt;Select objects: 1 found&lt;BR /&gt;Select objects:&lt;BR /&gt;Enter object ordering option [Above objects/Under objects/Front/Back] &amp;lt;Back&amp;gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Good Luck...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;please find the attached drawing with a sample using command&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt; _MLINE&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; ... with a style that has a white band besides of the central line.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can use command &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_MLSTYLE&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; to define such styles.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20170720_205326.png" style="width: 327px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/380380i6FE7296405D78BE1/image-dimensions/327x235?v=v2" width="327" height="235" role="button" title="20170720_205326.png" alt="20170720_205326.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I found this to be the closest to what i needed, the line was a little to big so i scaled it. The problem is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Why is this? is it because of the layers? Is it a setup of the lines below?.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It is unfortunate that you can't reverse the operation of the 'dimbreak' command.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; I just found out I can export it as a windows metafile&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;WMF would be one option, but when I use &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_COPYCLIP&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; or &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_COPYBASE&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; in AutoCAD and select objects, then set my focus to MS-Word and just press&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333333"&gt; &amp;lt;CTRL&amp;gt;&amp;lt;V&amp;gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;for paste I see the breaks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, good to know you have found a way that works for you! &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@59C40FF4A66238AB63B8D5D30F650901/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":cara_guiñando_un_ojo:" title=":cara_guiñando_un_ojo:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; The problem is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Why is this? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; is it because of the layers? Is it a setup of the lines below?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The multiline-object needs to be above the other lines. You can use command &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_DRAWORDER&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; to send objects to back or to front.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
