Hi Folks, This subject was discussed in the last couple of weeks.
(I had always used this messy process too.) As a result of a posting describing a neat utility called Split_Line somebody sent me the mbx on request. Unfortunately I have deleted the emails and can't thank them publicly. However I can send the mbx if you need it. Splitline will split at either a selected location or selected node. Its much easier and quicker than the MI "workaround", particularly for long polylines.

Draw a polygon in such position that one side of it passing through the cut point on the polyline, and the other part of the polyline is bounded inside that polygon. 2. Make the polyline layer EDITABLE 3. Select the polyline and SET TARGET on it. 4. Select the polygon and use function: OBJECT --> SPLIT. This will divide the polyline into 2 parts. 5. Select the polygon and delete as we don't need it anymore. 6. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------ Do Minh Phuong Doctoral Student Space Technology Applications and Research Program (STAR) Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) 12120 Klong Luang, Pathum Thani, Thailand Tel: (66) (02) 524-7781 Mobile: (66) 09-996-5616 Other mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.star.ait.ac.th/~vinafc/ http://www.student.ait.ac.th/aitvna --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
