I've used Trace Bitmap, which worked great to generate vectors, but I need to split some of the generated lines into pieces to do my cuts.
Is there some way to split a single multi-line apart? I can visually break them up in node edit mode, but the software still treats both pieces as a single object, and I want to toolpath on just one part of the line...

Re: Break lines into multiple
I'm assuming that by "multi-line trace" you are talking about the parallel vectors that result for each side of a line that is traced. They will be closed vectors, and have to be cut in two places to obtain a separate vector.jfournier wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 1:25 pmI've used Trace Bitmap, which worked great to generate vectors, but I need to split some of the generated lines into pieces to do my cuts.

Good judgement comes from experience.

Re: Break lines into multiple
I am not sure what you mean by this. The software is what? Vcarve toolpath? What is both pieces? What do you consider "the software"?jfournier wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 1:25 pmI've used Trace Bitmap, which worked great to generate vectors, but I need to split some of the generated lines into pieces to do my cuts.

The short answer to your question is no. I would need a lot more details of what you are trying to achieve to be able to help. Node edit is the best tool to editing nodes.
