Custom Jog Line?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to lessen the number of steps needed whenever I need to add a break line to a dimension. Instead of using the jog line that's already built in, my workplace uses its own custom break line. The problem, however, is that I have to explode the dimension line and manually insert the block along the dimension line.

I have tried searching for a solution, and one writes to edit the express tool for a breakline. Unfortunately, I saw that the version they were using was 2014 and most of computers at my workplace use 2010 LT or a newer LT version.

So instead of having a jog line like this:

I'd like to use our own block like so (differently colored to show what I explode):

Is there a possible solution for this?

Thanks!

I'm happy I'm not that picky but instead of using the dimjogline command, just insert an annotative  jog symbol block of your own creation with a mask or a wipeout in it to create the gap in the dimension line.  That way you don't need to explode the dimension.

That might not the answer I was looking for, but it's a great alternative solution. Thank you!

Just another question - I made a wipeout with my block but when I try to plot, the wipeout box still shows up. When I try to put my wipeout on Defpoints, the wipeout doesn't work. Is there a certain layers or way for the wipeout not to show up? Most times when I use wipeouts I place them behind an object I want to bring to front. I attached several snips to show what I'm referring.

Thanks again!

WIPEOUTFRAME

As @ВeekeeCZ, wipeoutframe affects the display of wipeout frames.  I use a setting of 2 so I can see the frame but it does not plot.  You can't put wipeouts on non-plotting layers if you want them to do their work.  Essentially they are images of background color that print over everthing below them in the drawing order.

In addition, the frame command/variable is a global setting that I typically use to affect the clipping frames, image frames, and wipeout frames.
