Help breaking object apart

Post by snowman70 »

I have a file saved as a dxf in corel x6. The curves have been joined but now I found errors that need to be corrected. How do I get the file broken back apart so I can select individual objects within the file to edit? The "Break Apart" option is grayed out. Thanks in advance for any help.

If the object has been welded then you can't break it apart. You will need to go into your nodes and manually break it into two pieces, then break those apart.

If the object is two or more distinct objects then make sure it is selected and you should be able to break them into two separate pieces (or more if there is more). Also, make sure you are trying to break apart a vector image, not a JPG or Tiff etc...

If that doesn't help, send me the image and I will take a look at it.
