Multi Select (sketch lines) to Split Solid

Multi Select (sketch lines) to Split Solid

I know it is similar to this one (but it is a different idea):

It would be useful if a user could select multiple split tools to split a single (or multiple?) solid body.

 

Currently I need to perform the split function once for every split tool (curve or surface) despite selecting the same solid body everytime.

be able to Split body from individual sketch line entities. So currently if a sketch has a connected lines it will pick up all lines which is fine but there should an option to pick individual lines. I know you could create a new sketch then project the line you wanted then split from that but its way more unnecessary steps

This is a great idea. It would be great if we could choose which side of the line(s) is the master side, as suggested here. Also, here are some related Ideas:

Great idea. I'm surprised this isn't already possible.

 

Here are some related ideas that need votes:

@dan_szymanski, the Idea that was merged in (by @Ben-Cornelius) is not asking for the same thing as the Idea it was merged into.

 

The master idea (by @smilinger) is asking to be able to select multiple lines as cutting tools.

 

However, @Ben-Cornelius's idea is asking to be able to select specific SEGMENTS or line entities from a loop or chain of lines. Currently Inventor selects the entire chain of connected lines and won't allow us to select specific segments within the chain.

 

These ideas are closely related but they are not the same thing. If the master idea is implemented, Ben's idea will still NOT be possible. Ben's idea needs to be treated specifically/individually.

Ben's idea is more closely related to these ideas, which are all dealing with the same issue but for different tools:

 

 

EDIT: I initially thought this idea: Select Multiple Non-Contiguous Sketch Profiles for Surface Extrusion, was a duplicate of the first. But it's actually asking for something completely different.
