You can move dimension breaks from dimensions or multileaders. When
removing dimension breaks from a dimension or multileader, all dimension
breaks are removed. If there are some dimension breaks that you don’t want
to remove, you need to add them again.
The following objects can be used as cutting edges when adding a dimension
break:
■ Dimension
■ Leader
■ Line
■ Circle
■ Arc
■ Spline
■ Ellipse
■ Polyline
■ Text
■ Multiline text
■ Blocks but limited to the previously mentioned objects in this list
■ Xrefs but limited to the previously mentioned objects in this list
Automatic Dimension Breaks
To create an automatically placed dimension break, you select a dimension
or multileader, and then use the Auto option of the DIMBREAK command.
Automatic dimension breaks are updated any time the dimension or
multileader, or intersecting objects are modified.
You control the size of automatically placed dimension breaks on the
New/Modify Dimension Style dialog box, Symbols and Arrows tab. The
specified size is affected by the dimension break size, dimension scale, and
current annotation scale for the current viewport. For more information about
annotation scaling, see
Scale Annotations on page 656.
Dimension Break Created by Selecting an Object
Instead of placing a dimension break for each object that intersects a dimension
or multileader, you can specify which of the intersecting objects to use.
