Hi All,
Creating a polygon split tool.  The code below is incomplete but I've hit a snag.  How would I extend the polylines I've created below by a given length?
I want to use these polylines to cut the polygon which I'm defining using the User provided points.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
