Occasionally, you want the course leg line between two controls to be cut to avoid covering details on the map.

To manually cut the leg line:

1. Select the course leg by clicking the mouse on the line.  The leg line appears as selected in red color, and the end points appear as small black rectangles.
2. Click the Cut Segment toolbar button on the Course Edit Tools Toolbar to select the scissors tool
3. Either:   - Click the left mouse button once on the course leg where you want the line to be cut, and a segment of about 1 mm. is "cut" out of the course leg line. 
   or:   - Click and hold the left mouse button on the course leg where you want the hole to start, then drag the mouse along the leg line, and release the button where you want the hole to end
4. Two black "handles" indicate the ends of the segment.  The length of the segment can be further adjusted by dragging either handle.

Alternatively, you can add two points to the course leg line by using the Insert Point button , and then toggle off the segment between the two points by using the Toggle Segment button .

The appearance of a course leg can either be

1. shared by l courses, or
2. specific to a given course

If shared by all courses (this is the default behavior), Condes remembers the bends and the cuts in leg line.  Condes draws the course leg identically for all courses that use the leg.

To make a leg specific to a given course, you double click on the leg line, and in the Course Leg dialog box that pops up, you choose "specific to the selected course".   This is used, for example, if a leg goes straight through a control later on this particular course and therefore needs to be cut or bent only on this course.  See also How to automatically cut course leg lines
