A tool that helps strengthen Altium Designer’s general editing capabilities is the new Track Slicer. The Track Slicer provides an easy mechanism for cutting one or more track segments into two. Use the Track Slicer to slice one or more tracks on the current layer, or all layers.

To use the Track Slicer:

• Choose Slice Track from the Move submenu (press M to display), then move the mouse over existing tracks for a visual indication of which tracks are to be cut.
• Press the Spacebar to lock the Slicer to vertical/horizontal/45 degrees.
• Press the , (comma) . (full stop) / (slash) or M keys to select the segments on the left side, right side, both sides, or to not select any segments.
• Press the Tab key to configure the Slicer.
• Press the Tilda key (~) for a full list of interactive shortcuts.
