Splitting Entities at a Specified Point

The Split@Point command lets you split an entity into two pieces at a specified split point.

Use the command with Lines, Arcs, PolyLines, Splines, InfiniteLines, and Rays, but not with RichLines.

Before starting to use the command, make sure ESnap is on. EntitySnap modes are useful to select the break point correctly.

To split an entity at a specified point:

1. Do one of the following:

   • On the ribbon, click Home > Modify > Split at Point.

   • Type Split@Point.

2. In the graphics area, specify an entity.

3. Click the entity at the point where you want to split the entity.

   The entity is split into two pieces without erasing any part of it. This method is useful if you want to split an entity where it intersects another entity.
