Hi

I have a slide library at the moment with my frequently used blocks
I have these set up so that when I insert them in to a drawing it will
execute a break command and will break the line, it is inserted on.
eg for terminals in a wire
I am looking at setting this up the same way but now in a tool palette
I can get the blocks to appear in the tool palette and insert them in the
drawing but have no way to add the macro to break the line when required

Has anyone tried this before?

Any idea would be appreciated

Thanks

Have you tried to use wipeout? 
It's easier than using break, and you can move/delete the object later without having to rejoining the wire.

Thanks for the reply
Yes I have tried that but appears too cumbersome, then I would have to deal with entities on foreground or background and frames etc.
The break command works perfectly for me and I think I have worked out on how to do it now but it will be a lot of work to get it where I want it to be.
 
Thanks,
 
Regards.
