Best Way to Make Break Line in AutoCAD
In this article, we will learn how to trim non-trimming lines
with the help of the break line command in AutoCAD. Especially this command is
very helpful in the case of contour line trimming to make a presentation
drawing in that you only want to show the specific contour line in a specific
boundary.
To create a break line in AutoCAD, you can use the
“Break” command, which can be accessed in several ways:
- Type “BREAK” in
the command line and press Enter. - Click on the
“Break” icon in the “Modify” toolbar. - Go to the
“Modify” menu, select “Break at Point,” and then select
“Two Points” or “Multiple Points.”
Once you have accessed the “Break” command, follow
these steps:
- Specify the first point
where you want to break the line. - Specify the second point
where you want to break the line. - Repeat steps 1 and 2 for
each additional break you want to create. - Press Enter when you are
finished creating breaks.
Alternatively, you can also use the “Trim” command
to break a line at a specific point:
- Type “TRIM” in
the command line and press Enter. - Select the line(s) that you
want to break. - Specify the point where you
want to break the line(s) by selecting it with your cursor. - Press Enter when you are
finished.
Best Way to Use Wipeout Command in AutoCAD
In this article, we will know how to use the Wipeout command
in AutoCAD. The Wipeout command allows you to create a masked area that hides
underlying objects. This can be useful for creating a clean and organized
drawing with clean masked background.
To use the Wipeout command in Auto CAD follow the below
steps:
- Type “WIPEOUT” in the command line and press
Enter, or select the Wipeout tool from the Draw panel in the Home tab of the
Ribbon. - Specify the first point of
the boundary of the area you want to mask. This can be a rectangle or a
polygon. - Specify additional points
to complete the boundary of the area. - Press Enter to close the
boundary and create the Wipeout object. - Specify the
“Frame” option to toggle the display of the Wipeout boundary. - To edit the Wipeout object,
select it and use the “Edit” or “Properties” commands.
Note that the Wipeout object will not be plotted or printed
unless you enable the “Plot” option in the Plot dialog box.
You can also use the “WIPEOUTFRAME” system
variable to control the default display of the Wipeout boundary. Set it to
“1” to display the frame by default, or “0” to hide it.
