First
When selecting an entity to break, you may use the point entered in the selection process as the first break point, or you may type F <Enter> to be able to select the first break point. Using F <Enter> allows you to start over in specifically selecting both beginning and ending break points.
@
Sometimes you need only to break an entity and not erase a section of it. In that case, use @ as the second break point. The line will be broken twice on the same point; no segments will be erased from the line.
