394 ■ Chapter 5: Altering Objects
Breaking Objects
Using the Break command, you can break a single object into two independent objects. You
accomplish this by first selecting the object to break and then specifying the break points.
The Modify panel contains two versions of the Break command. While each version executes the core
Break command, one breaks the object leaving a gap between the two remaining pieces and the other
breaks the object at one point, leaving the ends coincident (touching). In this lesson, you learn both
Break methods.
In the following image, the Break command was used to break the line indicated by the middle arrow,
at the points indicated by the arrows pointing to the intersections.
