PROGRAM INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------
MBREAK (multi-break) for AutoCAD.  Ver. 1.0
Freeware
Copyright (C) 1999 by Roman Reicher

INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------

MBREAK (multi-break) routine performs the same function as AutoCAD
BREAK command, except that a selection set of objects to break
can be used. This routine works with lines only.
The size of break is controlled by FILLETRAD AutoCAD system variable.
Set it up before using MBREAK command, use FILLET command Radius option.
Arc-type break will insert arc between broken parts of the line.
This is useful when working with diagrams - electrical, piping, etc.


LOADING AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------

To install the program UNZIP all files to the directory in which the file
"acad.exe" is located.


AutoCAD provides many methods of loading AutoLISP programs.  Two
of the most common are discussed in the following.

Method 1
--------
AutoCAD's "appload" command may be used.  See AutoCAD's command
reference for further instructions.  To start the labeling routine
type MBREAK or MB at AutoCAD command prompt.

Method 2
--------
A line of code may be added to the "acad*.lsp" file such as the
following:

(load "mbreak1")

This will automatically load the program each time a new drawing is opened.
To start the labeling routine type MBREAK or MB at AutoCAD command prompt.

"acad*.lsp" file for AutoCAD R12 is "acad.lsp"
"acad*.lsp" file for AutoCAD R13 is "acadr13.lsp"
"acad*.lsp" file for AutoCAD R14 is "acadr14.lsp"

IMPORTANT!!!
Before adding anything to "acad*.lsp" file save it under different name
to prevent accidental file corruption.
