Sketcher Split

Description
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 periodic curve (i.e. circles, ellipses, periodic B-splines), this is converted to a non-periodic curve (respectively arcs of circles, arcs of ellipses, and non-periodic B-splines) with existing constraints being transferred to the new curve.



Usage

 * 1) Press the  button. The mouse pointer turns into a white cross with a red split symbol.
 * 2) Click on the edge in the place where you want to split it.
 * 3) From the line and arc edges, two new will be created, connected at the point clicked. A circle is converted to an arc with the very same center point and other constraints the original circle had.
 * 4) Pressing  or pressing the right mouse button will terminate the function.

Limitations

 * For ellipse, parabola, hyperbola and B-splines the action is not yet supported. (This limitation no longer applies starting 0.21)
