      </table><br><div class="title_division">Allow Non-Association</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Allow Non-Association check box controls whether non-associative methods are available. Non-associative methods gain an advantage in reduced disk and RAM memory requirements by sacrificing associative update capability.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Split by Face</div>
      <p class="para_division">If the Split by Face option is selected, you can select only solid faces as the tool body. With this option an enlarged surface is created from the selected face allowing you to select to trim or split the target body with it. If the enlarged surface is not large enough to trim the solid body, the Enlarge Surface function invokes automatically. You specify the enlarged surface by dragging the U and V sliders in the Enlarge Surface function.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Split by Solid, Sheet, Datum Plane</div>
      <p class="para_division">When the Split by Solid, Sheet, or Datum Plane is selected, you can select a solid body, sheet body, or plane as the tool to trim or split the target body.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Split by Principle Plane</div>
      <p class="para_division">Split by Principle Plane is the only option available when the Non-Associative option is selected.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The options X-Y Plane, Y-Z Plane, or Z-X Plane allows you to create a plane as a tool in different directions at the origin of the WCS. The Point Constructor button can be used to specify a point you want the plane you created moved to.</p>
      <p class="para_division">You can also select User Define Plane to display an NX plane definition dialog that lets you define any plane to split the target solid.</p>
