    Posted: 07.Mar.2017 at 14:20
What is the easiest way to create space (se the picture) when lines are crossing?  
At present I copy the line and duplicates it on each side. Then Trim to create spacing. 

But is there any easier way?
Is there any Trim-set than can be used to create space-bufferts? Disapprove

There are a lot of routines out there to do this kind of thing.  For instance, just on the Cadalyst CAD Tips site, there's this one and this other one and this third one.  Some Searching on the AutoCAD Customization Forum, and The Swamp, and other such places, will find more.

Kent
Do I have to download any file to use the commands?
When i Write "Multigap.lsp" in the commandline it says "unknow command".

MULTIGAP.LSP and GSIZE.DCL break any number of selected lines at their intersection with other selected lines. Gsize defines the gap value.

Download both MULTIGAP.LSP and GSIZE.DCL to your hard drive.

Use the APPLOAD command to load MULTIGAP.lsp.

To run the lisp type MULTIGAP at the command line then press the Enter key.  Now look at your command line prompts.

***********
Re: BI

Try typing BreakInt at the command type and see if the lisp routine works.

The link (the second of three he listed) was contained in Kent Cooper's post above.  Here it is again...

Thanks for your answer John!

So I just klick on the red "Download this tip" button and save down the LSP and DCL files on my computer(?)  
Then I type "Uppload" in the commandline (in the AutoCAD program) to load the Multigap.lsp.
Tongue
Then I can se my alternatives to break lines.

Most likely the download will be in the form of a zip file so first you will have to unzip the files.  Next place the files in the folder where you keep all your custom lisp routines.  Use the APPLOAD command to load the lisp file (Multigap.lsp).  You'll have to click on the Browse button and migrate to the folder previously mentioned to locate the lisp routine.  Once loaded type MULTIGAP at the command line to run it.

How long have you been using AutoCAD?

JOHN: Started (as it notice) a couple of month ago Cry
But work mostly in MagiCAD, so knowledge about AutoCAD is not what it should be.

I Have downloaded the two tip-files. But could only Appload the "Multigap.lsp" file. The Gsize.dcl was not able to appload.

When i Type "Multigap" in the command line, AutoCAD ask me to select the upper line (Gapsize = 2 seems to be default).
I notice that the line i select is divided in the cross section. But how do i choose gapsize?
