Trimming Lines at the Intersection

After you have intersected lines in your picture, you can trim the intersected lines to remove unnecessary portions. Trimming lines can be tedious and time-consuming if it is done manually and if there are many lines in your picture that need to be trimmed. Using the Trim Lines button on the CAD Toolbar (Classic view) or Trim Lines in the Drawing Tools list, in the Picture list, in the Picture group, on the Format tab (Ribbon view), you can easily trim single or multiple lines. The following diagrams show examples of trimmed intersected lines.

NOTE: Regardless of the trim option set in the User Preferences dialog box, the shortest portion of the line from the intersection point will always be trimmed first.
