  • Extends entities while holding down the Shift key.
Note: The following entities can be trimmed: lines, two and three dimensional polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, splines, rays and infinite lines.
Note: Cutting entities can be: lines, splines, polylines, arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, ellipses, rays, infinite lines, layout viewports.

Options within the command

Fence
Trims all entities that cross the selection fence. The selection fence is a series of temporary line segments. The selection fence does not form a closed loop.
Crossing
Trims entities within and crossing a rectangular area defined by two points.
Edge mode
Toggles between Extend and No extend.
Extend
Extends the boundary object along its natural path to intersect another object or its implied edge in 3D space.
No extend
Specifies that the object is to extend only to a boundary object that actually intersects it in 3D space.
Projection
Specifies the projection method used when extending objects.
No projection
Extends only those entities that intersect real boundaries in 3D space.
xy plane of Ucs
Projects entities and boundaries to the XY plane of the current UCS, and then extends the projected entities that would intersect projected boundaries.
current View
Projects entities into the current view, and then extends them accordingly.
eRase
Deletes the selected entity.
Undo
Undoes the last trim action.
