NAME

     bl	- draw a break-line between two	points

FORMAT

     :bl;=P1;=P2[;...]

LEVEL

     1u

DESCRIPTION

     The bl command draws a break-line between the two	specified
     points.   The  line-type will be automatically set	to normal
     (solid) and the line parameters are determined by the values
     specified for pen,	color, break marker size and break marker
     spacing on	the break-line status menu.  (All dimensions  are
     specified in paper	units.)	 The command repeats.

     Once a set	of typical parameters have been	set on the status
     menu,  selecting  the SAVE	BREAK-LINE PARAMETERS button will
     save these	settings to disk.   These  values  will	 then  be
     automatically  set	 each time the break-line command is used
     in	a new ARRIS session.

PROMPTS

     Break-Line:  Enter	1st point (<CR>:exit)
	 Indicate the location for the start of	 the  break-line,
	 or press <CR> to terminate the	command.

     Break-Line:  Enter	2nd point (<CR>:restart)
	 Indicate the location for the	end  of	 the  break-line.
	 Pressing  <CR>	restarts the command, prompting	for a new
	 1st point.

ERROR MESSAGES

     Second point cannot be the	same as	the first.
	 This indicates	that the two points may	not be identical.
	 Continue by selecting an alternate second point.

     Distance between points is	too small to insert break-line.
	 This indicates	that there is not enough room between the
	 two  specified	points.	 The space between the two break-
	 line points must  be  at  least  1/8"	larger	than  the
	 current   break  marker  size	parameter.   Continue  by
	 selecting an alternate	second point  or  press	 <CR>  to
	 restart the command.
