Use the break polyline tool to break a single polyline entity into two separate polylines.
To break a polyline
1) Click the  button on the Editing Toolbar (or Ctrl-Shift-R).
2) Point the cursor at any point along a polyline and click the left mouse button. The break point can be exactly at an existing vertex or anywhere along any line segment.
3) Repeat step 2 for other breaks or click the right mouse button (or Esc key) to finish.
Notes:
•It is not necessary to specify a Current Feature or Current Layer before using this tool. The tool works on any layers that are, visible, locked, and selectable.
•If multiple polylines are drawn on top of each other they will all be broken at the specified break point.
•No new features are created with this tool. The newly created polyline entity will belong to the same parent feature as the original entity.
•Tool use instructions will also appear in the footer of the Think GIS window in the Instructional Bar.
