Split the curve at intersection (by prs1)
Hello,
When I select the outer circle and the "one o'clock" point in my model (enclosed), and press "I" to split curves at intersection, a message appears stating that there isn't any intersection (between the curve and the point), although there is.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

It works for me on macOS using the latest edge build.
Which version are you using?

Hi,
I'm using version 3.00bsc...2c on MacosX. Here's a screenshot of my display after clicking the point at 3 o'clock, clicking the outer circle, and then pressing I.

When I click the 2 o'clock point, and then the outer circle, again, the "Can't split" dialog appears.

However, if I click the 2 o'clock line, then the outer circle, and press I, the splitting works fine.
It's happened again (by prs1)
Click the 11 o'clock point, then the outer circle, press I; the splitting works fine. Now click the 1 o'clock point, then the outer circle. Press I. The "Can't split..." dialog appeats.

It looks like, when you split the line, it removes the constraints that force the points to be on the outer circle.
When you follow this procedure, things will work:
- Select the end point of the line and the outer circle.
- Press O to constrain them
- Press I to split them
- Repeat for the next lines
I wonder why it removes the constraints when splitting, this doesn't seem to be necessary?

Looking at the code, it actually does make sense I guess, since you split the outer circle/arc, it turns into 2 new arcs, so it removes all the constraints that were on the old circle/arc.
It could have been smart about mapping the constraints to the new circle, but I guess that is a harder problem that nobody looked into yet.
I hope you can work it out with the above workflow =)

Hi Koen,
thank you for the procedure.
I's a bit awkward (select point + select circle + press O, then select point + select circle + press I), but it sure works.
