If modifying dimensions or intersection objects, their breaks will update automatically. If creating new objects that intersect with break, it will not create any new break automatically. To add new breaks, users must run this command again. **Remove:** Remove all breaks from specified dimensions. **Manual:** Manually put breaks on dimensions. Specify two points on dimension or extension line for break position. If modifying dimensions or objects, breaks will not update. In the Manual state, users could only place one break at a time. ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/Commands/D/DIMBREAK%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](../../../2017/Commands/D/DIMBREAK%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Commands/D/DIMBREAK%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Commands/D/DIMBREAK%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/Commands/D/DIMBREAK%20Command.md)
