Split

The "Break" function allows lines, circular arcs and circles to be separated. A line then becomes two lines, a circular arc becomes two circular arcs, and a circle becomes a circular arc of 360°. If this circular arc is broken again at another location, two circular arcs are produced.

The break point can be located anywhere on the drawing. The point is then projected onto the line, circular arc or circle. For a circular arc or circle, this means the point lies where the line from the chosen break point to the center of the arc/circle intersects the circular arc or circle. For circular arcs or circles, two intersection points can result per chosen break point. In that case, the intersection point closest to the chosen break point is always used.

The new object inherits the same properties (color, line settings, layer, etc.) as the original object.

All input and snap functions are available for defining the point. All selection functions are available for selecting planar elements (lines, circles, circular arcs).
