Looking for some guidance on an issue that I am having. I trace an image using bsplines in the Draft workbench. Let's say I use the BSpline to create a closed geometry shape. When I want to trim a spline I create a line at the intersection point. I then use the Part Design Workbench Compound:Slice Apart command. At first look this appears to work correctly however if you zoom in really close the command causes gaps in the line(s) it split. This is problematic for example when I need to combine the lines and then extrude the face. Anyone else have this issue or guidance to share?
I hope the answer is not to "Use Sketcher" because I cannot convert this geometry to a Sketch properly, plus that would cause me to recreate a bunch of complex projects.
Appreciate your input!
Thanks.

I think I am narrowing down the root cause. Totally understand about uploading a file. However I have found it is not a problem with the slice at all. It actually is a snapping problem. In the attached image you can see that the snap location is not even on the line. So the line is never connected in the first place. The image (attached) is just simply trying to start a bspline at a location along a simple straight line. The only SNAP tool I have on is "Snap Near (ON)". Not sure how to solve this one.
If the attached FreeCAD file, if you zoom in as far as you can at the line intersection inside the red circle you will see that the line has a gap.
Thanks.

Are you zoomed in to nanoscopic levels to see these problems?
The display rendering in FreeCAD has a certain degree of coarseness to maintain acceptable performance. If you use an extreme zoom it is likely that you can see this sort of apparent mis-target in many places. By itself there is no issue.
If you are seeing a specific computational problem it would be best to focus on that issue rather than the display coarseness.
The inaccuracy of Draft_Snap_Near has already been fixed. But the fix could not be backported. So you need to switch to the weekly or use a workaround (see: Draft_Snap_Near).
I am reviving this thread as I seem to have issues that are very similar if not exactly the same as this original problem. (Stated at the top of the thread) I have updated to version 0.021.1. I have created a mesh cross section. I cannot create a line at the intersection of the cross section curves. Additionally if I set the working plane to the same plane that created the cross section, create a wire, then I also get a wire is not closed or wire is not co-planar error. Not sure how to fix this. Screenshots attached. I tried to upload my FCStd file but I get an error message that it is too large. The file size is 1,230KB. Here is my config:
