&nbps; Edit Bar controls: Number of sections, All selected.
This tool is used to split up one or more entities into equal sections. If you wish to split one entity, this does not need to be selected first; if you require more than one entity to be split, you must select them first, using any of the selection methods.
Enter the number of sections into which you want to split up the selected entities in the Number of sections text box. Alternatively you can use the Nudge keys to adjust the value interactively. Then click on a single entity to split or press All selected, to split all selected entities. The palettes and properties of the split entities will be the same as the original entity.
Constraint Manager
If you have the Constraint Manager active whilst using this tool you will experience the following differences:
- A coincident constraint is added at the end of each pair of new joined entities
- If a line is split then an equal length constraint and a colinear constraint is added to all the new lines
- If an arc is split then a cocircular constraint is added to all the new arcs
