Split lines with arc

[setdesigner]

I can't find the way to split the vertical lines with the arc...

Any tips on a way to do it in one go, without clicking on each lines ?

I want to keep the 2 parts once split.

Use the clip tool., inclusion mode, circle mode instead of the arc

Convert the Arc to a Polygon (Modify > Convert >), send it to front, then Select All + right-click > Clip Surface.

I am not really a 2D person, but this might work well for this and any other more complex lines.  Start with two lines centred on the curve.  The video should be self explanatory.

Thanks all for theses suggections. My case was a general simple exemple, the reality is a bit different and more complex.

All your solutions made me learn new tricks

With the clip tool, it works well fo a circle (or arc) but if I have a polyline or an oval as the clipping shape, I can't figure how it could work.

The convert to polygon method is good but I loose the smoothness since the polygon is a series of straight lines. For this case it is absolutly fine, I am just thinkng about other situations.

And the duplicate along path method is very good too, just not applicable in my case now but I will keep it in mind.

Many thanks for you support

It works with a Polyline as well, you'd just need to redraw the Arc rather than convert it

Oh yes, this is great ! Thanks

You could also do this using Modify - Trim, which would even work with keeping the Arc object as an Arc or even use something like an oval in the middle.

 

Oval inside field of lines

 

Select all objects

 

Run Modify - Trim and be careful just to click on the Oval object.

 

Result

 

Use Alt + marquee selection to select all interior lines

Ok, this is very good too, I was not aware of the Trim command, I was just using the Trim tool...
