The Line Split mode splits 2D objects, NURBS curves/surfaces, solids, and viewports along a screen plane cutting line. After the split, all the objects remain on the drawing.
To split an object along a cutting line:
Click the Split tool from the Basic palette.
Click the Line Split mode from the Tool bar.
Click the All Objects or Currently Selected Objects mode from the Tool bar.
Draw a line through the object to split; the object to be split is highlighted.
The object is split by the line, and all parts remain in place on the drawing.
Solids can also be split in Line Split mode.
