More about Breaking Elements

Using Break, you can also isolate points.

• if you select a point that limits and is common to two elements, the point will be duplicated.
• if you select a coincident point, this point becomes independent (it is no more assigned a coincidence constraint). In the following example, applying Break onto the circle center lets you therefore move the circle:
  
  
  
  

You cannot break composite curves (which are projected/intersected elements composed of several curves).

However, you can work around this functional restriction by projecting or intersecting the composite curve elements and break these items using one another.
