I've added mention this to the 0.20 release page but the documentation is still incomplete. I know this feature is still a work in progress nevertheless we should have some documentation explaining how to use it. Someone please step up, thank you!
Hi Kunda1,
I have tried to document the feature a bit, however I am quite a Wiki beginner, so it may not be according to the common expectations. I have also added the item to Sketcher Workbench Geometries commands overview, however I do not know what these <!--T:xxx--> HTML comments mean, so I rather skipped adding such a line.

Don't worry about the formatting, we can fix that.
The <!--T:xxx--> stuff is the translation addon for the wiki. Don't mess with those unless you know what you're doing.
Just a quick note and risking cluttering up this thread but had to say "Yay!!! Thanks for the function!" I just got aware of it when I recently downloaded the 0.20 weekly build. Will be using it ALL the time based on my workflow (or lack of organization when sketching )
New behaviour:
Selecting an existing point on an existing line and thereafter selecting the "Sketcher Split"-function does use the existing point for splitting the line similar to the newly created point from the current behaviour.

Right, I was also thinking about this. It would make it possible to split lines precisely using properly constrained points attached to them.
Some thoughts to be considered:
- Should it split all lines on which the point lies?
- What should happen if a point has a point-on-object constraint on a line, but is not lying on the line itself, but on its extension?
- Is a point being symmetric to the ends of a line considered to lie on the line (I think so)?
- point-to-line tangency should be respected
- point-to-line orthogonal should be respected
Are there more such cases?
