I have two parallel lines intersecting a circle. Is there a command that will break the drawing up into separate pieces (2) at the intersection points? I want to send up with what's in (3).

\$\begingroup\$ I would look into perhaps parsing your shape with a ulp, or better yet try to see if anyone on the intertubes has written a similar ulp already. The Eagle forums are great for stuff like this. \$\endgroup\$– NickHaldenCommented Nov 8, 2012 at 22:14

Unlike AutoCAD or SolidWorks, there is no command in Eagle, which would break or trim lines at intersections.
Your shape isn't very complex. There are several options.
Find/calculate the coordinates of the intersection points. Then draw 2 separate arcs and 2 separate lines.
Draw a rectangle. Then change the
Curveproperty of the sides, which will make them into arcs.

\$\begingroup\$ Did you mean to draw an actual Rectangle, or draw 4 lines? I got what you suggested to work with the lines, but not with the rectangle. \$\endgroup\$– BrianVCommented Nov 8, 2012 at 22:00
