I am new to Microstation, so maybe I just don't know how the BREAK command works.
I can break a complex element (created from Horizontal Geometry - Complex by PI) successfully. But when I hover over the complex element, the full length of the orginal element is displayed. If I select the element, I see the entire original length. Is this normal? Why does Microstation display the original element?
Please tell us which version of MicroStation you are using (e.g. 10.05.x.y).

What do you mean by that?

When you break the line are you breaking it and deleting a portion of the line or are you just breaking it at a specific point and leaving the entire length the same? If you are breaking the original element into 2 pieces and not deleting anything I would suspect that you have the Graphic Group Lock on. This would explain the behavior of highlighting & selecting both elements. Turn off the Graphic Group Lock <Settings <Locks <Graphic Group

yes, the graphic group lock was on. I turned it off and I am still get the same results. I am breaking the line to remove a segment in the middle. Break works fine on a regular line or a smart line. I only have this problem when I break an alignment.

Well, I don't use that product, but my guess is that the alignment may be a cell or other complex element.
You might want to post your question to the appropriate forum.
