Specify an object selection method to select the objects to trim. If more than
one trim result is possible, the location of the first selection point determines
the result.
Object to Trim
Specifies the object to trim.
Shift-Select to Extend
Extends the selected objects rather than trimming them. This option provides
an easy method to switch between trimming and extending.
Fence
Selects all objects that cross the selection fence. The selection fence is a series
of temporary line segments that you specify with two or more fence points.
The selection fence does not form a closed loop.
Crossing
Selects objects within and crossing a rectangular area defined by two points.
NOTE Some crossing selections of objects to be trimmed are ambiguous. TRIM
resolves the selection by following along the rectangular crossing window in a
clockwise direction from the first point to the first object encountered.
Project
Specifies the projection method used when trimming objects.
