Thanks everyone.That really helped

[Breaking an ellipse]

Hello,

I have traced my artwork and positioned an ellipse, using the Ellipse tool.  Now, I want to break the ellipse and use just a part of it. I tried using “Expand Stroke” to break the shape and then pick two nodes and press break. That didn’t work and the part of the ellipse in between the broken nodes couldn’t be deleted.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks
