If you look at the attached pictures, I am trying to modify the witness line so it does not interesect another witness line. Anyone know how to do this? I am sure it is so simple, but its Thursday and I need it to be Friday!!

    Here is a summary of how to do this. Special thanks to Nick and Jonathan for helping out, and Jeff for the button pic.

    I should note I am using Wildfire 3.0.



    I also included the directions on how to 'undo a break', along with a picture of the button you can use from the toolbar.



    TO CREATE A BREAK:

    Insert -> Break... (or use the button) and then click on the witness line where you want the break - click the start and end points. There are also the options 'simplified' or 'parametric'.




    TO UNDO A BREAK:

    Select the dimension, and then point at one end of the break and right-click. 'Delete' in this context-sensitive menu means 'delete break' - there's also a 'delete all breaks' command depending on the number of breaks a witness line may have.



    Good luck
