==Description==
== Description == <!--T:3-->

This tool allows to divide an edge into two identical ones while most of the constraints are duplicated, so both parts remain constrained apart from split point position. For a special case of a circle, it is converted to an arc with loose ends with existing circle constraints being transferred the new arc.

==Usage==
The [[Image:Sketcher_Split.svg|24px]] [[Sketcher_Split|Sketcher Split]] tool splits an edge. If the edge is a closed curve (i.e. a circle, an ellipse or a periodic B-spline) it is converted to an open curve (an arc, an arc of ellipse or a non-periodic B-spline respectively).


== Usage == <!--T:6-->
# Press the {{Button|[[File:Sketcher_Split.svg|16px]] [[Sketcher_Split|Split]]}} button. The mouse pointer turns into a white cross with a red trim symbol.
# Click on the edge that you want to trim.
# The line segment will be trimmed to the nearest overlapping line(s). If there are other sketch elements on both sides of the clicked position, the clicked piece is cut out.
# Pressing {{KEY|Esc}} or pressing the right mouse button will terminate the function.

* {{VersionMinus|0.18}} Arcs of hyperbola, arcs of parabola and B-splines cannot be trimmed.
# There are several ways to invoke the tool:

#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → [[Image:Sketcher_Split.svg|16px]] Split edge}} option from the menu.
#* Use the keyboard shortcut: {{KEY|G}} then {{KEY|Z}}.
# If there is a previous selection it is cleared. The tool does not accept a pre-selection.
# The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
# Click an edge at the point where it should be split.
# If the original edge is a line or an open curve, two new edges are created connected by a [[Sketcher_ConstrainCoincident|Coincident constraint]]. For closed curves a new open curve is created, the new point then does not receive a Coincident constraint. Existing applicable constraints are transferred to the new edge(s). See [[#Notes|Notes]].
# This tool always runs in continue mode: optionally keep splitting edges.
# To finish, click in an empty area in the [[3D_view|3D view]], right-click or press {{KEY|Esc}}, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.

Description

The Sketcher Split tool splits an edge. If the edge is a closed curve (i.e. a circle, an ellipse or a periodic B-spline) it is converted to an open curve (an arc, an arc of ellipse or a non-periodic B-spline respectively).

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Split edge button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Split edge option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: G then Z.
  2. If there is a previous selection it is cleared. The tool does not accept a pre-selection.
  3. The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
  4. Click an edge at the point where it should be split.
  5. If the original edge is a line or an open curve, two new edges are created connected by a Coincident constraint. For closed curves a new open curve is created, the new point then does not receive a Coincident constraint. Existing applicable constraints are transferred to the new edge(s). See Notes.
  6. This tool always runs in continue mode: optionally keep splitting edges.
  7. To finish, click in an empty area in the 3D view, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.

Notes

  • A Coincident constraint is applied to the center points of new arcs.
  • Radius and Diameter constraints are copied to new arcs (resulting in a redundancy).
  • Coincident constraints and Point onto object constraints are transferred to the closest new edge.
  • Horizontal and Vertical constraints between points are transferred to the closest new edge.
  • Horizontal and Vertical edge constraints are copied to new line segments.
  • Parallel and Perpendicular constraints are copied to new line segments, for new arcs they are only copied to the closest.
  • Distance constraints are transferred to the closest new edge.
  • Angle, Symmetry and Block constraints are currently not transferred.
