The Break Loop command will allow you to break the currently selected loop. This is necessary if you wish to join to characters or objects together.

1. Select the Vector Edit tool image\Vector_Node_Edit_tool.gif.

2. Select the point on the loop that you wish to break

3. Select the Break Loop tool image\Break_loop.gif or press the O key.

To Join a Broken Loop

Select one of the points on the broken loop and move it towards the point you wish to join it to. When you get close to the point you wish to join it to, press and hold down the Shift key. You will hear a beep when the two points have joined.

When you break a loop, the start/end point is moved to the location that you broke the loop. If you are joining two points, only one of them can be a start/end point (can't join two start/end points). If you have selected a point that is not the start/end point, it can only be joined with a point that is a start/end point.
