Options

• :ONE_ELEMENT - specifies a single element to be trimmed or extended.
• :AT_ELEMENT - trims or extends an element to its (virtual) intersection point with another element.
• :AT_POS - element is trimmed to point specified.
• :TWO_ELEMENTS - two elements are trimmed or extended to their (virtual) intersection.
• :MIDDLE - specifies the middle section of the element to be trimmed, and the elements to trim with.
• :CONTOUR - specifies elements forming a contour, from which all overshooting ends must be deleted.

When to use

The trimming operation uses the element selection mechanisms, to specify which end or part of the selected element is kept, and which is modified.

Example

TRIM :MIDDLE [specify middle section of horizontal line] [specify 1st vertical line] [specify 2nd vertical line]
