Tip of the Day

Trim Up

TrimmingOften, you find yourself using the Trim command to tidy up loose ends of lines. If this is the case, don't bother selecting cutting edges, just use the "select all" option.

Start the Trim command, ModifyTrim from the pull-down menu or TRIM from the command line. At the prompt, simply hit Return (Enter) to accept the <select all> option.

Now, just pick the line ends you want to remove.
