Trimming Elements

You can trim both the elements using the Trim All Elements option in the Sketch tools toolbar.

1. Click Trim in the Operation toolbar (Relimitations sub-toolbar).

   The Trim options are now displayed in the Sketch tools toolbar. The Trim All Elements is the default option.

2. Select the first line.

   
   
   

3. Position the cursor on the element to be trimmed.

   The second element is highlighted too, and both previewed lines are trimmed.
   
   

4. Position the cursor on the same first element.

   The first element will be trimmed at the location where you click for the second time. The location of the relimitation depends on the location of the cursor.
   
   

5. Click when you are satisfied with the relimitation of the two lines.

   
   
   

You can trim first of the two selected elements using the Trim First Element option in the Sketch tools toolbar.

1. Click Trim .

2. Click in the Sketch tools toolbar.

3. Select the first line.

   
   
   

4. Position the cursor to the second line.

   The first line selected is trimmed to the second line.
   
   

5. Click when you are satisfied with the relimitation of the first line.

   
   
   

   Important: In multi-selection mode, no extrapolation is done by using Trim . If you trim an element created from a projection or an intersection, then this element extremities are not constrained anymore to follow the extremities from the element they are issued from. If the extremity point of the trimmed line is constrained, or if the extremity point of the trimmed line is a geometrical element (not a construction element), then a coincidence constraint will be created between this point and the trimmed line.
