To cut a channel through one or more entities
1 On the Edit menu, click Trim, Channel, or click the Channel button on
the All-In-One toolbar.
2 Enter two points that define the width and angle of the channel. Dashed
lines illustrate the channel path.
3 Click the entity that is inside the channel path. AutoSketch removes the
section of this entity that is inside the path of the channel. Repeat this
step to trim additional entities that intersect the channel.
Dividing an Entity
On the Edit menu, click Trim, Divide to divide two lines, arcs, or circles at the
point where they intersect.
■
When dividing two intersecting entities, the resulting entities are four
separate entities with new endpoints at their intersection.
■
When dividing a circle, AutoSketch converts it to a single arc, with its
starting and ending points at the intersection nearest to the selected
point.
