Split Lines

The Split Line tool_Split_Line_Curves.gif tool projects an entity (sketch, solid, surface, face, plane, or surface spline) to surfaces, or curved or planar faces. It divides a selected face into multiple separate faces. You can split curves on multiple bodies with one command.

You can create the following split lines:

Projection Projects a sketch on a surface. You can pattern split line features that were created using projected curves.
