Precise Split
Feature Description
Accurately splits line objects through different splitting methods.
- The precise split function applies to line layers and CAD layers.
- Two splitting modes are available: Two-segment and Multi-segment. When selecting Two-segment, choose between percentage or distance splitting:
- By Distance: Splits the line from the endpoint using a specified distance value. After splitting, the line object will be divided into two segments.
- By Percentage: Splits the line from the endpoint using a percentage of total length. After splitting, the line object will be divided into two segments.
When selecting Multi-segment, choose between segment count or interval splitting:
- By Segment Count: Splits the line into equal-length segments based on specified quantity. Creates one or more new objects after splitting.
- By Interval: Automatically calculates segment count using specified interval value. The remaining segment shorter than interval length will still be created. Example: For a 13-unit line with 5-unit interval, results in two 5-unit segments and one 3-unit segment.
- Closed Object Splitting: In SuperMap, closed line objects (e.g., circles, rectangles) are considered as objects with coincident start/end points (endpoints). Splitting closed objects will automatically split both endpoints simultaneously.
- Result Description: Original line object is deleted. Newly created line objects inherit non-system field attributes from original object, with system fields automatically assigned.
Feature Entry
- Features Tab->Feature Editing Group Dropdown->Precise Split.
Steps
The following demonstrates multi-segment splitting as an example:
- Select the line object to split in the current editable layer.
- Click Precise Split in the Gallery control of Feature Editing group under Features tab.
- In the Precise Split Settings dialog: View object information (ID and length), select splitting method (Two-segment or Multi-segment), and input parameter values.
- Click OK to complete. Split objects are highlighted in red and blue on the map.

Arc, three-point arc, and spline objects in CAD datasets cannot be precisely split.
