Trim Tool

The Trim tool trims a portion of the selected object. Objects that can be edited in this manner include lines, arcs, rectangles, circles, ovals, polylines, and polygons.

 

To trim a portion of an object:

1.	Position the object you want to cut with over the object(s) to be trimmed.

2.	Click the Trim tool from the Basic palette.

The standard arrow cursor changes into a hand.

3.	Click the portion of the object to be trimmed.

That portion of the object is trimmed back to the closest intersection with another object.

To trim another portion of the same object, move the hand to that section and click.
