Extract Polyline Segment

A polyline is build up out of straight and curved segments. They are essentially lines and arcs and that is what you get when you explode a polyline. We don't have to explode the polyline though to get loose arcs and lines. We can use the 'Extract Polyline Segment' command and click on any segment of the polyline we need. As soon as we do a new arc or line is created on the layer that is current while the polyline is still in tact.
