One way is to take advantage of the Shapes>Operations>Fragment function on
the toolbar.
Add an intersecting shape near where you want to break your loop. From
outside, start a line and draw it inward into your shape, then, from that
point continue with a 2nd line outward beyond your shape. The section of
loop between these two intersection of your loop and the added "V" structure
is what is going to be eliminated. Identify both figures, and then click on
the Fragment function. Next, just select the region surrounding the original
"V", and hit delete. What's left is your loop with an indented "V", sort of
like a Pacman. Now open the shapesheet for this new figure and go to the
Geometry section. There will be a row that says "Move to" followed by
several rows that say "line to". IF your drawing and shapesheets are tiled,
then, if you click on one of the X Cells for a line to entry, \you'll see a
node highlighted. If it is one of the "V" structure nodes, delete that row.
You can always use (Cntrl-Z to get it back.) Do this for the remaining line
segment. All that remains should be your "broken" loop.
Hope this helps.
