Function entry
- Edit Data tab -> Object Editing group -> General editing -> Split -> Object Split
Operation steps
- Set the layer that contains the line or region objects to be split to editable state.
- Select a line or region in the editable layer as the object to be split. On the Edit Data tab, in the General editing drop-down menu, click the Object Split button in the Split group to perform the split operation.
- Then move the mouse to the current map. The mouse prompt will display: "please select the object to split." Select a line or region object as the splitting object, and the object to be split will be split at the intersection of the two objects.
Notes:- When multi-layer editing is enabled, users can split lines or regions in multiple editable layers simultaneously.
- When selecting the splitting object, only simple 2D line or region objects are supported. Otherwise, the output window will prompt: "The selected object is not a simple 2d point, line, or region object. Please re-select."
