Dimension breaks that are added by selecting individual intersecting objects
are updated any time the dimension or multileader, or intersecting objects
are modified.
Dimension Break Created by Picking Two Points
You can place a dimension break by picking two points on the dimension,
extension, or leader line to determine the size and placement of the break.
Dimension breaks that are added manually by picking two points are not
automatically updated if the dimension or multileader, or intersecting object
is modified.
So if a dimension or multileader with a manually added dimension break is
moved or the intersecting object is modified, you might have to restore the
dimension or multileader, and then add the dimension break again. The size
of a dimension break that is created by picking two points is not affected by
the current dimension scale or annotation scale value for the current viewport.
To automatically create dimension breaks for each intersecting object
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Dimensions panel ➤ Break.
2 Select a dimension or multileader.
3 Enter a (Auto) and press Enter.
To create a single dimension break based on an intersecting object
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Dimensions panel ➤ Break.
2 Select a dimension or multileader.
3 Select an object that intersects the dimension or multileader. Press Enter.
To create a manual dimension break
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Dimensions panel ➤ Break.
2 Select a dimension or multileader.
3 Enter m (Manual) and press Enter.
