peterg Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 After updating to 2021 my trim command completely deletes a line, how do I set it to be between cutting lines as default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start the trim command there is no need to preselect objects to trim too, the program now acts as though you have selected everything and will trim to the nearest place it detects.

Dana W Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) TRIM has always been able to do this, it's just that Autodesk has changed the default by pre-setting TRIMEXTENDMODE to 1 instead of 0. Just change it back to 0 (zero). In fact, once most people get used to the QUICK trim mode, they leave it set to 1. It is true there is no fix, only because it is not broken.

Berzerker Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I might have been wrong but I am still using 2007. Just thought I might try to help. Mine still works just like I learned how to use it. I still select the objects I want to trim from and then the objects I want to trim. Wasn't trying to mess you up peterg. Do what Dana says.

Berzerker Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I had to give credit where credit is due. peterg has 2018 and I'm not real sure how it is so, I looked it up on the interweb and I run across your name on the AutoCad website forums. Pics the same so I assumed (?) I started to add I was having problems with my middle click option "It wouldn't pan". I like to pan when I hold my middle button down it helps me to be faster and it's just how I learned. Couldn't get it to work for anything. I use a separate mouse on my laptop because I hate the mouse pad. It would work fine one minute and just stop. Even set it in my registry still the same. After a little while it crossed my mind to change the mouse out....Been working great ever since. It's not always the programs fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
