How to trim multiple lines |
|
|
ACAD LT 2002
Is there a way, say you have 50 vertical lines on a drawing, 3000 long. I
draw a line at 2000 across the whole lot of them and I want to trim each to
this line. Normally id trim each individually, taking a lot of time. Im sure
theres a fast way to do this? Something called fence?(but dont let me cloud
your answers)
Thanks
Lee

Theres not much to read in the FENCE help listing, it doesnt actually tell
you how to execute the command and when to type F etc, ive just found an
online tutorial I think has done the trick. It might seem easy to some but
we all know what its like to pick up mew commands once we're set in our
ways.

What's so complicated about "type F<enter>, then select points ..."?

To be fair, memory tells me that the documentation of fence is buried a bit
in the help and tutorials, so fence is probably the least well known
selection method, except maybe for FILTER.
Also from memory, fence works at some select objects prompts where the
options are specifically offered as window or crossing, but silent about
fence.

It took me about 10 seconds to get to the page clearly and graphically
illustrating the use of Fence, after typing it into the HELP Index. A lot of
folks ought to learn to effectively use HELP before they even *attempt* to
learn AutoCAD.

As someone who's self-taught, you'll get no argument from me on that one.
