Illustrator: Cut Strokes Without Making Shapes

Learn how to cut a stroke or a line in two pieces without converting the stroke to a filled shape. Many KZbinrs show how to do this but, in the process, they convert the stroke to a shape. If this isn't what you want to do, I'll show you how to cut the stroke without converting it to something you don't want it to be. In other words, cut strokes remain strokes!

Mate, youve done it again. Thank you so much.

[@HelenBradley]

My pleasure!

I had no idea you didn’t need to select the shape before using scissors. I’ve had so much trouble with cutting shapes in illustrator. That divide option has blown my mind. Also, the knife tool I never knew you could draw straight lines with it. Sometimes I find things counter intuitive in illustrator. I’ve been using illustrator for ages as well 😂.Thanks Helen.

I've been working with AI for the last 18 months but I never knew the features as shown in this video. Your channel was subscribed to me a long time ago since I started learning and I have learned many features of AI from your videos. Keep going ahead, Madam. with many greetings from Bangladesh.
