Hi there
I really like to use the "break at point" feature in Autocad. In modify there are two break buttons, break and break at point. The break button doesn't work for me, I like to use break at point button. You select a line then select the break point which for me is normally a snapped on intersection, and voila the line splits into 2.
However its a pain in the ar&e having to click on the break at point button everytime I want to use it.
If I type in Break to the command line it uses the break command which is totally different, it breaks a line based on two points, so you end up with a line with a gap it it.
Is there anyway to set up autocad so I have a quick way to use Break at point?
Kind regards, Andrew

There are so many turnaournds, this is mine :
*^C^C_break \_f \@
instead of ^C^C_break \_f \@ in the button.
I just put the * before the original macro so that this button is not to be pushed each time.
I end the command with escape.
Yes, you got it !
It is a very little thing, you know. 😎
This "break at point" command is not a command but a command with its extensions, so that it doesn't help to ENTER to repeat the all instruction, it only repeats the core of the command.
In the world, there must be thousands of people like me who put this "*", instruction that repeats the all macro.

True, but all this applies up to ACAD 2020. Since 2021 it's a real command. This is from help HERE :
