The Boundary | Edit Polylines | Break
at Intersection command
breaks a selected polyline at every intersection with
another boundary object, such as other curves or areas. If the selected
polyline intersects a rectangle, rounded rectangle, or ellipse the curve
is not broken. The intersection must occur between a polyline and another
boundary object. (You can convert the rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse,
square, or circle to a boundary object using the Symmetric
Shape to Area command and then use this command.) After a polyline
is broken, multiple polyline objects are created based on the boundary
intersections with the original polyline.
To break a polyline:
Select the polyline that is intersecting with another boundary object.
Click the Boundary | Edit Polylines | Break at Intersection command.
In this example, the polyline is broken into three
polylines since the curve crosses the area twice.
