Trim axes

You can shorten the axes of an axis group by cutting them at other objects. These objects can be other grids as well as AutoCAD® objects (e.g. lines, circles, poly lines etc). The single axes are shortened at the selected end. You may select several other objects as boundary objects. In this case, you can adjust the single axes between them if necessary.
