Erase part of a line or shape

When I draw a circle on the map, is there a way to delete a segment of it instead of having to freehand a part of a circle? Or, is there a way I can erase a single line (or part of a line)?! Thanks!

At this time, no there is not a way to do that. This is because the drawing tools are vector based instead of raster. There is a suggestion thread down at the bottom of the forums that is about creating a way to perform the erasing so take a look down there and post to it. The more interest in it the more likely the devs will focus on it.
Thank You

I went looking for the thread and couldn't find it in the last month or so. You might want to create a new thread about this as a suggestion.
This would make dynamic lighting much more managable.
Right!

The best way to deal with this is to use polygon/lines to create your circles etc. I draw my circles in either quarter circles or half circles and then I can adjust them as needed. Here are directions on how I draw circles using polygon/lines: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/149172/atmosphere-with-dynamic-lighting#post-149596" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/149172/atmosphere-with-dynamic-lighting#post-149596</a>

It may not apply to everyone's use case, but I wrote a script for importing walls from the GIMP: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/949734/script-walls-svg-path-importer-for-dynamic-lighting#post-954175" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/949734/script-walls-svg-path-importer-for-dynamic-lighting#post-954175</a>
