Breaking exactly between 2 points on arcs in degrees. 45 degree, exemple. From 90 to 135. How to? ------------- way |

Draw a couple of temporary lines that pass through the circumference of the circle then break at intersections? Or perhaps utilize polar tracking to break at the specified angles? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

I haven t permission to track anything but use relative coordonates, as the break distance shall not be on right side, but left side. ------------- way |

It doesn't matter where the break is going to occur in the circle. And what do you mean you "don't have permission"? What, your boss said you weren't allowed to do it a certain way? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

It îs a exercite. Boss îs TEACHER.Do YOU know how to Use specifiy first point and secund point with coordonates? Break Shall Be Between 90 and 135 degrees. The side certainly Matter. I have to Use @ too at coordonates?  ------------- way |

If you know the coordinates you don't have to use the @ sign. Input the coordinates when prompted. Separate the X/Y coordinates with a comma. Example: Command: BREAK Select object: Specify second break point or [First point]: F Specify first break point: 18.3135,13.2204 Specify second break point: 20.9471,14.3113 But be careful. The result you get may not be what you were expecting to see. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

See the same question here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2013-2014-2015-2016/break-command-at-specify-point/m-p/5994104#M109809" rel="nofollow - http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2013-2014-2015-2016/break-command-at-specify-point/m-p/5994104#M109809 BUT you can also do it with Polar [F10] and Object-Snap Tracking [F11]. Have CENter among your running Object-Snap modes, and the 45-degree multiples among your Polar angles. Call for the BREAK command, pick the Arc, choose the First option, hover over the Arc with the cursor so that a little cross appears at its center, then hover over that cross so that it "lights up" and you can Polar-track from there in the 90-degree direction [you don't need to pick on the Arc, just establish the direction], then for the second Break point, again hover over the Arc to get the center mark, hover over that to grab it as a base point for Polar-tracking to the 135-degree direction from there.

Use the Polar tracking command and place two lines from the center of the arc and use them to break the arc. Terry http://FloridaDraftingServices.com" rel="nofollow - Florida Drafting and Design Services ------------- Florida Drafting Services http://www.floridadraftingservices.com |

The method I described will do it without drawing any addtional/temporary object(s). [That's one of the main purposes of Polar/Object-snap Tracking -- you can "get to" various locations in relation to things without needing any object(s) there to snap (or Trim or Extend or whatever) to.]
