Apply to Line and Colour Art

Use Mouse Gesture Breaker Mode
When using the Lasso selection type, the Use Mouse Gesture Breaker Mode 
option lets you draw an invisible stroke on a pencil line to cut it in two individual objects. Once a pencil line is cut with this option, you will be able to select the two portions independently with either the Cutter tool, Pencil Editor tool or Select tool.
