How to break one Line into two separate objects with no visible space in between.

      1. Select the BREAK AT POINT command by using:

      Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel image / image

      2. _break Select objects: select the object to break (P1).

      3. Specify first break point: select break location (P2) accurately.

       Note:

       The single line is now 2 lines but no gap in between the 2 lines.

       For example, a 2 inch long line would become two 1 inch lines butted together.

      METHOD 2 - Break between 2 points. (Take a bite out of an object)

       Use this method if the location of the BREAK is not important.

      1. Select the BREAK command by using one of the following:

      Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel image / image

       or

       Keyboard = BR <enter>

      2. _break Select objects: select the object to break (P1).

      3. Specify first break point: select break location (P2) accurately.

       Note:

      A. Circles break Counter clockwise. (CCW)

      B. Circles can’t be broken with “1 point.”

      You must use 2 points.

       The following method is the same as method 2 above; however, use this method if the location of the break is very specific.

      1. Select the BREAK command.

      2. _break Select objects: select the object to break (P1) anywhere on the object.

      3. Specify second break point or [First point]: type F <enter>.

      4. Specify first break point: select the first break location (P2) accurately.

      5. Specify second break point: select the second break location (P3) accurately.

      The CHAMFER command allows you to create a chamfered corner on two lines. There are two methods: Distance (below) and Angle (next page).

       DISTANCE METHOD

      Distance Method requires input of a distance for each side of the corner.

      1. Select the CHAMFER command using one of the following:

       Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel /

       or

       Keyboard = CHA <enter>

image

      Command: _chamfer

      (TRIM mode) Current chamfer Dist1 = 0.000, Dist2 = 0.000

      Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/mEthod/Multiple]: select “D” <enter>

      Specify first chamfer distance <0.000>: type the distance for first side <enter>.

      Specify second chamfer distance <0.000>: type the distance for second side <enter>

      2. Now chamfer the object.

      Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/mEthod/Multiple]: select the (First side) to be chamfered (distance 1).

      Select second line or shift-select to apply corner or [Distance/Angle/Method]: select the (Second side) to be chamfered (distance 2).

      Note: When you place the cursor on the second side, AutoCAD displays the Chamfer and allows you to change the Distances before it is actually drawn. If you choose to change the Distance, select the Distance option, enter new distance values then select the 2nd side.

       ANGLE METHOD

      Angle method requires input for the length of the line and an angle.

      1. Select the CHAMFER command

      Command: _chamfer

      (TRIM mode) Current chamfer Dist1 = 1.000, Dist2 = 1.000

      Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/method/Multiple]: type A <enter>

      Specify chamfer length on the first line <0.000>: type the chamfer length <enter>

      Specify chamfer angle from the first line <0>: type the angle <enter>

      2. Now Chamfer the object

      Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/mEthod/Multiple]: select the (First Line) to be chamfered. (the length side)

      Select second line or shift-select to apply corner: select the (second line) to be chamfered. (the Angle side)

image

      OPTIONS:

      Polyline: This option allows you to Chamfer all intersections of a Polyline in one operation. Such as all 4 corners of a rectangle.

      Trim: This option controls whether the original lines are trimmed or remain after the corners are chamfered. (Set to Trim or No trim.)

      mEthod: Allows you to switch between Distance and Angle method. The distance or angle must have been set previously.

      Multiple: Repeats the Chamfer command until you press <enter> or Esc key.

      The COPY command creates a duplicate set of the objects selected.

      The COPY command is similar to the MOVE command.

      The steps required are:

      1. Select the objects to be copied.

      2. Select a base point.
