Change the Size and Shape of Objects
There are several methods for adjusting the lengths of existing objects relative
to other objects, both symmetrically and asymmetrically.
Trim or Extend Objects
You can shorten or lengthen objects to meet the edges of other objects.
This means you can first create an object such as a line and then later adjust
it to fit exactly between other objects.
Objects you select as cutting edges or boundary edges are not required to
intersect the object being trimmed. You can trim or extend an object to a
projected edge or to an extrapolated intersection; that is, where the objects
would intersect if they were extended.
If you do not specify a boundary and press Enter at the Select Objects prompt,
all displayed objects become potential boundaries.
NOTE To select cutting edges or boundary edges that include blocks, you can
use only the single selection, Crossing, Fence, and Select All options.
Trim Objects
You can trim objects so that they end precisely at boundary edges defined by
other objects.
