AutoCAD: BREAK at a Single Point

The default action of the 'BREAK' command ('BR' from acad.pgp) is to break an object on two points. The first point selected is based on where you select the object to break. The following procedure can be used to break an object in two at a single point.

1. Start the 'BREAK' command
2. Select the object to break
3. Type: 'F <enter>' and reselect the first break point
4. At the prompt for the second break point type: '@ <enter>'

HINT: To automate this process, create a macro in CUI with '^C^CBREAK;\F;\@;' and assign it to the shortcut key of your choosing.
