'split sketch' makes erases sketch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Draw a sketch in HeeksCAD or import a dxf from another program
2. Do 'Split Sketch' to the sketch and it is erased

Using r1205 of HeeksCAD and r1049 of HeeksCNC on Ubuntu8.04 (just updated from 
svn this morning).

I know this was happening last weeken, but I ran out of time and couldn't file 
a bug report.

Thanks,
Dan

I recently changed the conditions used to determine whether the 'Split Sketch' 
option was added to the menu.  It's likely that I have misunderstood what 
'Split Sketch' does and have enabled it when it should not be.

'Split Sketch' is definitely handy. Sometimes it's the only way to be able to 
make something useful out of a DXF file that has screwed up layers.
Thanks,

Dan,

  give this a try.  I haven't repaired it as such.  Instead I have changed the behaviour slightly.  The split sketch command tries to recombine the child graphics into closed sketches.  If this can't be done then I'm dumping the child graphics as separate elements instead.

  The other option is to revert to the original functionality whereby the sketch must have a particular 'sketch order' before the split sketch command is offered to the user.
