Trim or Extend Objects

Trim or Extend Objects

You can shorten or lengthen objects to meet the edges of other objects.

This means you can first create an object such as a line and then later adjust it to fit exactly between other objects.
Objects you select as cutting edges or boundary edges are not required to intersect the object being trimmed. You can trim or extend an object to a projected edge or to an extrapolated intersection; that is, where the objects would intersect if they were extended.
If you do not specify a boundary and press Enter at the Select Objects prompt, all displayed objects become potential boundaries.

NoteTo select cutting edges or boundary edges that include blocks, you can use only the single selection, Crossing, Fence, and Select All options.

Trim Objects

You can trim objects so that they end precisely at boundary edges defined by other objects.
For example, you can clean up the intersection of two walls smoothly by trimming.
