"Splitting" a contour
If you delete a contour element which is located
between preceding and subsequent elements, the
contour is split into a basic contour and a remaining
contour (see figure at upper right).
The remaining contour cannot be edited—you can,
however, change the basic contour and "link" it to the
remaining contour. This is usually done by inserting
new contour elements. "Linking" the "last contour
element" to the "remaining contour" is also permitted
if such a link is possible.
MANUALplus supports this possibility by taking over
the starting point coordinates of the remaining
contour. You simply press Set X, Z (see figure at
right).
