    I've got a torchmate 2X for growth series table. I've got a sign I'm making that I'm going to have to use four 4 by 8 sheets of Steel. I have indexed before and I'm going to do it on this sign. I have the drawing drawn with the four sheets of metal but I need to split them in certain areas. Is there an easy way to split a line at a point using the CAD cam? Thanks

    You can use the Ginsu Knife in TM Cad 9, also can go to Layout > Common Line Cutting > Inclusion will do the same thing. Though inclusion closes the shape, to open back up Arrange > Convert to Polyarc. Double click on your part click on the first Trash Can on the left and mouse over the line you want to delete, click on it will delete the line between the two nodes, then click apply.
