line trimming (SOLVED)

Post by Certina » Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:45 am

Hello
Where to find the line trimming tool.
For example, two lines intersect and I want to trim part of the line to the point of intersection.

Regards - Certina

Hi,
See menu Modify:
Trim (RM)
Trim Both (TM)
You could key in 'RM' or 'TM', these are called schorcuts.

Regards,
CVH

This can be done with the "Break out Segment" (D2) tool:

Depending on the given situation "Break out Manual" (B2) and "Auto Trim" (AX) would be an option too.

Thank You very much for the hints.
Unfortunately, there is no way I can truncate the line with the proposed method.
I cannot cut two lines with marked dimensions: 18.25 and 29.79

Thank You very much for the detailed explanation.
<Break out Segment> that is, <podziel na segmenty> is what I meant.
Thanks
