# Breaking the Link between Nodes

Break the link between nodes to undo the parent-to-child relationship between objects.

In some modules, you can use Cut mode to undo the relationship between objects. Alternatively, if Auto Parent is enabled in the Setup menu (of Action, Batch, and Modular Keyer), you can also use Move mode to break the link between nodes.

To break the link between nodes:

1. Select Parent, Move, or Cut mode from the Edit Mode box.
2. Drag the cursor across the line that connects the two nodes.
   NoteYou cannot cut a type of link while in another mode. For example, if you used Duplicate mode to create a Duplicate link in Action, you must be in Duplicate mode to break the duplicate link.
