Free drawing lines, which are those with visible digitizing points in the activated mode, can be split at any of these points in 2 lines. Graphical primitives (circle, rectangle, etc) has to be converted to curves1NI6DS9 first. This is possible by selecting the primitive and using the corresponding function in the drawing menu.

To split a line you have to the select the desired point and then click to the split-button at the popup-menu.


To join 2 lines you have to select both with the Shift-key pressed. By clicking to the concat-button both lines are joined. If they do not touch, a straight line segment is included between the last point of the first line and the first point of the second line.


When joining lines you have to take care for the direction of the two lines, which is displayed by a small arrow on each line. The first point of the first line is always connected with the last point of the second line. If the second line has the wrong direction, you can reverse it with the reverse line-button  


The splitting and joining of lines is of special interest for the working with vectorized drawing lines.  Unimportant parts can be removed or lines can be joined to create an area which can be used for the punching directly. Please refer the corresponding topicIADD6 in the chapter Drawing
