Trimming Entities
3
Click the entity you want to trim to the edge entity. Click the portion of
the entity you want to keep, near the point where it intersects the edge
entity.
TIP
Press ESC or right-click once to select another edge by repeating step 2.
Removing Sections of Entities
AutoSketch provides two methods to remove a section from a line, arc, circle,
or polyline.
■
Break creates a gap in an entity by clicking a single point at the center of
the gap.
■
Channel creates a trimming path that removes sections from one or more
entities at the edges of the channel.
Removing a section from an entity, either by breaking or channeling, results
in two separate entities which can be selected or edited independently.
NOTE
Break and Channel will not effect polygons with holes (produced using
the Union, Intersection, or Difference).
To remove a section from a single entity
1
On the Edit menu, click Trim, Break, or click the Break button on the All-
In-One toolbar.
2
Click the entity you want to break. The entity is highlighted.
3
(optional) Enter a different length in the Gap Width text box on the edit
bar to specify the length of the break opening and press ENTER. A rubber-
band line representing the width of the gap appears and follows the
pointer.
4
Enter the point for the break, this is the center of the gap. AutoSketch
removes the section from the entity, leaving two separate entities.
