After you extract the subpath, the fill and outline properties of the path are removed from the combined object.
Splitting objects
You can split vector objects, text, and bitmaps. You can split single objects or groups of objects along straight, freehand, or Bézier lines.
(From top to bottom) Three modes for splitting objects are available: Bézier, 2-Point Line, and Freehand.
In addition, you can create a gap between the new objects resulting from the splitting action, or you can make the new objects overlap.
This bitmap was split into two along a freehand line. The gap value was specified before cutting the bitmap.
When you split an object by using the Knife tool , CorelDRAW lets you choose whether to convert outlines to curve objects or keep
them as outlines. By default, the application automatically chooses the option that best preserves outline appearance.
