I have been trying to think of the best way to do this and I'm looking for ideas. The blocks are inserted by double clicking the slide in their respective slide libraries dialog boxes. I pictured the process like this: After the user picks the block to insert from the Dialog box he will be prompted for an insertion point, just like always. After the insertion point is picked, an iso circle could either be drawn or inserted..the line inside the iso circle broken and deleted. The size of the iso circle would be a pre-defined size since I already know how big the block is. Then the iso circle would be erased and the valve or fitting block inserted. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to tackle this?

Hope this helps, I can send you some code if you want to see, but I do not have the code on my machine right now.

Basically it is a routine that works with a toolbox to insert a variety of fittings.<BR /> <BR /> Hope it helps.<BR /> John Martens Tue, 03 Jun 2003 08:27:13 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vba-forum/can-vba-trim-or-break-lines-for-block-insertions/m-p/305657#M63375 Anonymous 2003-06-03T08:27:13Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vba-forum/can-vba-trim-or-break-lines-for-block-insertions/m-p/305658#M63376 arsnik91<BR /> <BR /> Personally found it much easier and simpler to do in ALisp using 2 invisible<BR /> attributes for the break points of the block.<BR /> If you want to try it this way, let me know and I'll find the code.<BR /> <BR /> cheers<BR /> <BR /> Pete B.
