Breaking Drawing Objects

When you break an object, you create two objects out of one with both objects ending at the break point. The break point can be a randomly selected point, the mid point of the object, or an intersection.

Break command

• From the Drawing View, choose Edit | Break.
  
• Select the object you want to break.
  
• Select the point at which you want to break it. If the break point is the intersection with another object, left-click the other object or the point at which they intersect.
  
• Left-click another object to break or right-click to end the command.

Right-click the object to break

• Right-click the object you want to break.
  
• Select the point at which you want to break it. If the break point is the intersection with another object, left-click the other object or the point at which they intersect.

Survey lines can not be modified

TPC does not allow you to modify survey lines with commands like break, trim, or extend. You must modify the line in the traverse that created it.
