Loop Removal is pretty reliable *if* it is used, essentially, the way that it works. Sometimes redrawing part of the segment over the line to be cut will accomplish the matter. Edit/Move/Reroute works to break track into segments, but it would be better to have a quick command that would take an existing track and break it at the nearest point on the track to the current cursor position. This is *not* what Reroute does. Reroute will break the track, yes, but the new endpoint pops to grid. I won't explain why this is sometimes a nuisance..... Anyway, most of the time placing new track with loop removal on will do, very quickly, what is needed. Try this. Place a series of track segments, starting on some primitive that has a net assigned (or assign the net with TAB, but simply staring in contact is faster). Leave this as a stub. Make sure that loop removal and electrical snap are turned on. Place a new track at some point on any part of the first track and run it a short distance over the first track before going off somewhere else. Protel will rip up the original track, including any stubs.
