Disconnecting Lines
I've searched but can't find an answer, perhaps because I'm not using the
correct terminology? I'm creating a piping diagram, and when I connect lines, sometimes they end up combining into one line. I'd like to know why it does that sometimes and not others, but my real question is how do I disconnect lines in this situation?

Which stencil and shapes are you referring to?

Disconnecting Lines
When you say sometime they combine and sometimes they don't ... this is would
be different drawings, not in the same drawing? And when you say combine, you mean "glue"??? That is, the two ends are connected together, but, the common point still exists, and you can still select either segment. "Combined" or "joined" segments would not retain an identifiable common connection, and you would have just a single, long line segment. So, go to menu bar tools Snap and Glue. Make sure that glue to shape vertex is NOT selected. That will stop the unwanted gluing behavior. To disconnect the lines, select one, move the mouse over the highlighted connection point, hold the left mouse button down, and drag the end point to whereever you want it.
