Daryl,

Try using Polyline Split on the Objects menu.
Select the polyline, Set Target On
Draw a polyline that cuts across the targeted polyline (you may want to use object 
snap to snap a node of the polyline to the exact point where you want to divide the 
targeted line). Select the line you just have drawn and use Polyline split.

Subject: MI-L Breaking a Polyline


        I'm attempting to break a long polyline at a specific vertex.
The result would be two new polylines.  I have attempted the "split"
command, but receive an error that I may not use a linear object.  I
receive this message even when closing the cutter polyline to create
polygon.  Suggestions?  
Is there an easier method for breaking a polyline?
