Un-Jog a Section Line?

[Gus]

How does one Un-Jog a Section Line?
In fact managing the jogs of a section line is a total mystery to me.

Hope this helps.

When I do this I am able to get rid of the jog, but (and maybe I'm being to anal retentive) but the "nodes" still remain once you have created them even if you make the section line straight.

Grab the center point and drag it to the sides then you should not get the extra points.

Awesome!
That did it.
That has frustrated me for years.
Thank you so much!

Can't remember trying to undo multi points before, other than undo cmd.
Maybe that's a 17 fix? as that doesn't work here.
Center node moves the whole marker.
But maybe I'm missing the obvious:-)

Check Eduardo's screen shot again (the yellow lines). You have to grab the center point while there is still a "jog". Works for me in AC16 (& 17)

In addition to Stress.com:

1. If you have move the segments to be horizontal then you will need to separate them and then drag the point in the perpendicular (to the section) segment to either side. Based on the side you choses the section line will move down or up to match the side chosen.
2. This will work with multiple splits though you will need to do it one by one

This option has been available as long as I remember but it is possible that it was included first in AC11 (2007).

Interesting exercise.
The devil or good is always in the details.
{as my typo in image} 🙂
Attachment shows the threshold point for dragging
the still offset section's center point node to the sides
to delete intermediate nodes.
Thanks All
