Win7-64, QCAD 3.12.8

Hi,
A small one where I pulled my hair: I used "trim both" to join hidden part of the circle to the radius, and then, I have to use it again to join the visible section of the circle on the other side of the radius. Tool refuses to perform
I include the offending part of the drawing if you want to have a look.

I cannot reproduce this here at the moment. The larger arc trims to the end point of the smaller arc. Is this also what you expected when using trim both? Note that the small arc does not change its shape. This is expected behavior since the intersection or tangent point coincides with the end point of the smaller arc.

Weird, I tried again on the test excerpt and now it works too.
Still won't do it on the full drawing...

Thanks for the file. It's one of those cases, where there is a tiny gap between the arc lines, so they don't intersect strictly speaking. The next version of QCAD will detect this situation and tolerate the gap if it is very small.

For now, you can work around this by trimming to a temporary line constructed at the end of the smaller arc.

Thanks Andrew,
I used the orthogonal radius to do the trim
