Hi,
Another fairly basic question.
If I draw say a pentagon, is it possible to quickly transform this figure to its individual constituent 5 lines ?
Obviously, I can redraw each individual line one at a time ... but is their a quicker way of doing this?

With V9 there is an Explode Vectors gadget on the Gadget menu that will do that for you.
Prior to V9 you would need to go into node editing and cut the vectors at each node.
