Splitting and Merging Points

There may be times when you want to attach an independent point to another object or make a point that has parents independent of those parents. The Split and Merge commands in the Edit menu allow you to make these changes in the family tree of your sketch.

Use Split to separate any point on a path, midpoint, or intersection from its parents, making it into an independent point.

Use Merge to merge an independent point with any other point or with a path.

Transformed and plotted points cannot be split.
