Function Description

Divide a line or Region by drawing a temporary dividing line.

The Line Split button is available only when there are editable layers in the current Map and one or more Select Objects exist in the layer.

When Multi-Layer Editing is turned on, a temporary dividing line is drawn that divides the selected line or Region in all editable layers it crosses. These objects can be on different layers.
