OSNAP is a abbreviation of object snap which specifies a snap point at an exact location on an object. You can use an object snap once in the middle of a command, or you can set running object snaps. Running object snap modes can be toggled on and off with the Osnap button on the status bar. You can use the TAB key to cycle through available object snaps. Object snap settings are stored with the drawing.

The break command is used for splitting objects into two or multiple objects. For example, if you want to erase the middle portion of a line, you will use the break command. The command is similar to “erase” in a graphics editing software. You can erase any portion of an object like arcs, circles or polylines. One useful thing that this command can do is you can cut a circle into half.
