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.

  1. Select a face on a part.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function New sketch to surface.
  3. Draw the line in sketching mode.
  4. Select Confirm.
  5. Select Split Line as the operation.
  6. In the section Selected elements 1, click the right mouse button and select the context-sensitive function.

  7. Select Faces individually in the model by selecting Add or select All.
  8. Select Confirm.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

Note:
  • 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.
