Break out segment tool functioning differently

Post by Hambone404 » Wed Jun 29, 2016 11:28 pm

Hi,

My break out segment tool started working differently today. I am on version 3.15.2.0, Windows 7 74 bit. Before today, the break out segment tool would cut intersecting lines, but today, when I use the tool, it breaks intersecting segments, but does not remove them. Works almost like the divide tool, except it automatically selects the intersecting segments. I have to select the reset/active arrow tool, select the segment that the break out segment made and delete the part.

I have attached a dxf for your review. I am using the break out segment to delete the intersecting segments above/below the upper exploded text.

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Hambone404,

the "Break out Segment" tool comes with an option: "Remove Segment" "yes or no". To remove the segment automatically it has to be ticked on?
