Using Breaklines

Sometimes you would like to be able to take a pair of scissors to a shape – make a wavy or straight cut across it. You can do this with Breaklines. Using the ‘Break line’ button, having already selected a closed-outline Line object, you enter the Break Mode. Next, select an input mode to draw your line across the shape, and right-click to end drawing. You can edit the line before it is used. Once you have the line as you would like, use the “Cut the object” button to make the cut. You will now have multiple objects.

    

Start with a circle and draw a Breakline.

   

Cut the object with the Breakline. You can see it is now two objects.

A Fill stitch has been added and colors chosen.
