Mechanical
Circle Break
Version 1.0.0
Circle Break is a custom nanoCAD tool that allows you to split a circle or ellipse into two arcs by selecting a section to represent hidden geometry. The tool automates the tedious process of trimming and duplicating geometry to simulate hidden edges using different layers or linetypes. This is particularly useful in mechanical or architectural drawings where hidden parts of circular or elliptical objects must be represented using dashed lines, typically on a "CBREAK" layer.
Features
Works with circles and ellipses in any UCS/view.
Lets you pick two break points interactively on the geometry
Automatically assigns the arc between the picked points to the " CBREAK " layer.
Preserves the original style (layer, color, linetype) for the rest of the object.
Automatically creates the " CBREAK " layer if they do not exist.
