Edit-Split Tool

I wish I could split fills and meshes to archs and splines.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean to explode fills then I heartily agree (though this won't produce splines).

You can space bar (magic wand) click to trace the fill with lines and arcs. I don't recall trying this with the spline tool but it might work also.
