Editing a circle

[Ed_Orum]

Is there a way to add a break to a circle?  The Break Line tool only appears for straight lines.

 

Thanks,

Lane

Convert to polyline first, in the Edit toolbar.

You can trim a circle to become an arc, then lock the center and set the start angle to 0 and the end angle to a value a smidgen less than -360, to simulate a circle with a break.

You can't add a break to a circle but you can add one to an arc.  

 

If you want to convert a circle into two arcs, you can first convert it into a slab, and then back to a plain polyline.  It will now be two arcs instead of a circle.

Thanks for the help!
