unless you're talking about using sendcommand, you would implement your own
version of break, getting points and responding accordingly with adding new
entities, deleting old, etc...
(i think)

Hi Ramon,

Select the line
Record the end point coordinates
Change the end coordinates to the location where you want a break
Draw a new line from the break point to the previous end point.

There is no Break method.

Modify the original line to form one of the "new" segments, and draw a new
line to make the other new segment.

I'm not at all trying to sound snide or restate the obvious, but it sounds
to me like the thrust of Ramon's question is *how* to calculate the new
endpoints. There've been a few posts on this, and it doesn't look like
there are any simple solutions...
http://groups.google.com/groups?scoring=d&q=trim+block+group:autodesk.autocad.customization.vba

It looks like Ramon could use GetBoundingBox to find approximate break
points of a block if it's not rotated.

Ramon, if you do find some way to use SendCommand to run BREAK or TRIM or
something similar, you'll probably need to use (handent) to input the block
and line objects to the command line. Similar to...
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=handent+group:autodesk.autocad.customization.vba&scoring=d

Sorry I can't be of more help than this, but this doesn't sound too easy.

Hi James,

Turn on nearest snap
Pick the first point and the line
Pick the second point
Record the end coordinates of the line
Modify the line to use the picked point as the new end point
Draw a new line using the recorded end point and the second picked point.

No calculations required, easy to program.

If you're using AutoCAD 2002 or earlier, you can use the
Break() method of the AcadX Curve object to break *any*
kind of curve entity (e.g., line, arc, polyline, spline,
ellipse, etc), at one or more given points.

http://www.caddzone.com/acadx

Also, the advice of several others regarding how to go about
doing this manually is a bit wrong.

You should *copy* the original line, in order to replicate
its properties, Xdata and so on, rather than 'draw a new line'
as a means of creating the other segment.

Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut these is a pain in the neck it is so simple in Lisp or
VL..
i finding every day that these VBA w Acad is a bad deal..unless some one
develop a complete function library to manipulate Acad entity to VBA is not
work the effort them.

sorry by my spelling
can program by not spelling 🙂

Thnak You all

One solution I use to caculate points is to draw 2 semi-circular arcs with a
center point where your insertion point will be and a radius corresponding
to the block size. Using intersectWith in VBA - you'll easily get the end
points of the new lines. No calculations are necessary.

After you have both intersection points. Generate 2 lines. One from the
StartPoint of the original line to one of the intersection points, and a
second to the 2nd intersection point. Compare the lengths. The short is
the correct line. Redefine the longer lines Startpoint to the End point of
the original line and you're done. Well - except for making sure all the
properties match the original line.

A long winded explaination, but it is actually a simple process.
