Split Line
Define the sketch as the split line. Use the split line to divide the single or several surfaces to the surfaces. Sketch the line on the face of a part. Accept the sketch and select the faces of the part split by the line. If the sketch is on a planar face, the face is a split face (default).
For example, you can use a split line when drafting.
Add a new sketch, line, to a planar face. Accept the tangential polyline suggested by the program as the faces that will be split by the line.
Define a split line in the volume.
- Select a face on a part.
- Select the context-sensitive function New sketch to surface.
- Draw the line in sketching mode.
- Select Confirm.
- Select Split Line as the operation.
- In the section Selected elements 1, click the right mouse button and select the context-sensitive function.
- Select Faces individually in the model by selecting Add or select All.
- Select Confirm.
- If you select a wrong face, you can either change it and select a new one, or remove the selection by first selecting the face from the list and then clicking the Change or Delete button in the dialog box.
- Click OK.
A polyline is sketched on the face. Select points of the part's existing geometry as the starting and end points of the line. You can also select a point for the line outside the existing geometry. Faces other than the face behind are selected as the split faces.
- Edit the sketch of the split line, when you select the feature from the feature, and the context-sensitive function Edit Sketch. You can edit the selection of the split faces by selecting the context-sensitive function Edit Operation.
- There may be problems during drafting, preventing the creation of the draft. You can then make drafting easier by using split lines to divide the drafted face into parts.
