Description

Turn a perimeter into an open string.

 Preselecting data obviates the need to click on multiple items when running this command.

How to use

A perimeter is defined as a "closed" string whose first and last point share the same coordinate location.

  • This command prompts you to select a string. If the string is closed then the last point is deleted - if the string is already open, the command has no effect.
  • Multiple strings can be selected when running the command, or preselected before running the command.
