Select a line

Hello

It seems like a silly question but is it possible to select a line without making half of it disappear?
If, for example, I have a line that I want to cut in half but keeping both parts, I create a point and, using the Adjust tool, each time, it removes the half that I click on and I have to recreate it... Until now, I hadn't asked myself the question but now, I have a lot of modifications to make on some of my pieces and it will be a great help to save me time by avoiding recreating my curves / arcs / lines each time... Especially since it makes me jump my relationships every time and it takes me a lot of time.

On the line, right-click and then "Split entities". Then you click where you want to find the junction on your right.

You must use Split entities:

While you're adding icons for sketches, there's one that I discovered late (you may know it!), it's the "Line with hook".

 

It allows you to create a niche from a straight line. Much faster than redesigning and readjusting it!
