Command Options

Option	Description
Select cutting entities for trim	Selects the entities to use as trimmers: Choose one or more entities; you can even select text Press Enter to select all entities in the drawing; entities can both be cutlines and be cut These entities define where crossing entities are trimmed.
Shift-select to extend	Extends the picked entities instead of trimming them: Hold down the Shift key while selecting entities to be extended
Select entity to trim	Chooses the entity to be trimmed. Select a single entity; only one entity can be trimmed at a time. Your pick point defines the portion of the entity to be removed:
Edge mode	Toggles edge mode; prompts you: Extend/No extend - (type E or N.) Extend - trims entities that do not physically intersect the cutting entity. No extend - trim only entities that intersect. This option is affected by the setting of the Projection option; see below.
Fence	Cuts entities interactively; prompts you: First point of fence - (specify the fence's starting point.) Next fence point - (specify the next point; press Enter to exit this option.) As you pick fence points in the drawing, BricsCAD immediately trims entities under the fence. The portion of each entity between other entities is trimmed. Use this option together with ALL (select all entities to trim).
