Split Objects

Specifies which objects need to be split across partitions.

  • Crossing at least one partition splits the objects that cross one or more design partitions at the area boundary of each partition. When this option is selected, all objects that cross at least one design partition are split.
  • Crossing multiple partitions splits the objects that cross multiple design partitions at the area boundary of each partition. When this option is selected, objects crossing a single design partition are not split.

Diagonal objects and the objects that have been edited in a design partition are not split.

Partition Area Halo

Objects are not split if the crossing part is inside the halo of design partition area.

For example, in the following screenshot, the upper path is not split because the crossing part of the path is not larger than the design partition area halo.
