How can I delete one of the rectangle's lines? When I try selecting only one line I can't do it unless I select the entire rectangle. Help please.

For example in this photo I would like to delete line AB:

Hi,

if your rectangle is of type POLYLINE then it's one object. To separate the polyline into it's segments you may use command _EXPLODE, then each of the segments will a be separate line and may be deleted piece by piece.

(just to make sure: to move that object, when it's exploded, makes it necessary to select each of the pieces then )

Since the Rectangle is a polyline, it is an Object. As an Object, it can trim itself. Here's how.

-Start the Trim command,

-Select the Rectangle,

-Hit "Enter" to end the selecting.

-Now, select any of the Rectangle's lines and they will disappear.

The remaining pieces are still Polylines.

Try it; you'll like it. -KLYPH
