Beginning AutoCAD 2010: Exercise Workbook

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
Use the Break command
Trim an object to a cutting edge
Extend an object to a boundary
Move and object to a new location
Explode objects to their primitive entities.
The BREAK command allows you to break an object at a single point (Break at Point) or between two points (Break). I think of it as breaking a single line segment into two segments or taking a bite out of an object.
Select the BREAK AT POINT command by using::
Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel / 
_break Select objects: select the object to break (P1).
Specify first break point: select break location (P2) accurately.

Break between 2 points. (Take a bite out of an object.)
(Use this method if the location of the BREAK is not important.)
Select the BREAK command using one of the following:
Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel / ![]()
Keyboard = BR
_break Select object: pick the first break location (P1).
Specify second break point or [First point]: pick the second break location (P2).
