# Mutual Cut Line

This extension cuts exactly 2 (ideally straight) path segments and will create intersected elements. Depending on the path direction (which can be reversed) the ends are going to be cut against each other

## Draw some paths

## Duplicate the paths (CTRL + D) and give some different color

This step is optional but helps to understand what's going on here

## Check the result

We repeat the previous step and this step for all variants to show the possible outputs. You can reverse the path using "Path → Reverse"
