Have you ever wanted to disconnect one line from another one in a sketch, eg, at the point indicated in the image below?
Well, it’s possible using either of two little known sketch settings:
  1. No Solve Move
  2. Detach Segment on Drag
They are shown below.
Once either of these settings is turned on you can drag a line away without the attached lines “following it”.

Unfortunately you can’t drag it from an endpoint, the whole line must be dragged and then the end points re-attached as required.
The video below shows this process in action.

Admittedly, in this simple example, it might have been quicker to simply delete the line in question and draw another one, but I think it’s always nice to know about alternative techniques.
