Adding Points to curve

[Dale264]

Hello,

Is there a way to add points to a curve without deforming the original curve. Example, you have a circle (not filled) and you want to open up a small gap on the circle (hide or delete edge would do). When I add the points where I want to remove the small portion of edge (to hide edge or delete edge) the circle deforms. Wondering if there is an exact way, not a work around (re-curving the original line, etc)

Thank you for any help.

Select shape, menu "scripts > split curve".
