1.PLANE AREA.
Use Auto Separate to divide a plane area into two new plane areas. Using Auto Separate, you draw a path from one side of a plane area to another side of the same area. This path defines the center of the separation between the two new plane areas and divides the plane area into two distinct shapes.
2.To automatically separate a plane area:
1. Click a split/mixed plane layer from the Layer list on the standard toolbar.
2. For object mode, select a side of the plane area and right-click and click Auto Separate. The selection point is the starting point of the split.
For verb mode, click the Drafting toolbox button from the standard toolbar, click the Auto Separate button from the Drafting toolbox, and click to indicate a starting location somewhere on the perimeter of the plane area polygon.
3. Click to indicate corners, if any, to define the line of separation.
4. Double-click on the plane area outline to complete the Auto Separate command. The Assign Net to Selected Polygon dialog box appears and automatically selects one of the new plane areas.
5. Click a net to assign to the selected plane from the Choose Existing Net area. This assigns the net, deselects the plane area, and selects the other area. Click a net for the other area. This assigns the net, deselects the plane area and closes the dialog box.
Note: You must have at least two corners each lying on an edge of the polygon or the message "Too few corners" appears.
Note: No corners of the auto-separate path may be outside of the polygon or the message "All corners must be within the plane area polygon" appears.
Note: No segments of the auto-separate path may be outside of the polygon or the message "All segments must be within the plane area polygon" appears.
Note: If the message "Can't shrink polygon #1" or "Can't shrink polygon #2" appears, reduce each of the new polygons by one-half of the line width. An error occurred during this operation (probably self-intersection).
