An object can be one of the cutting edges and one of the objects being
trimmed. For example, in the illustrated light fixture, the circle is a cutting
edge for the construction lines and is also being trimmed.
When you trim several objects, the different selection methods can help you
choose the current cutting edges and objects to trim. In the following exam-
ple, the cutting edges are selected using crossing selection.
The following example uses the fence selection method to select a series of
objects for trimming.
