Trim

This option trims the selected parts of members/objects. This option is available using either method:

• Click Edit menu > Trim.
• Click .

Trim is based on indicating on a selected member/object the part to be trimmed. The trim part is located among members/objects defining the trim edges. The trim edges can be members or objects (arcs, circles, polylines and so on).

The dialog has the following options:

• Selection of cutting objects field specifies the number of cutting objects. The position of these objects defines which parts of the members or objects can be trimmed.
• Member/Object field specifies the member or object number of which the part is to be trimmed.
• Relative Coordinate of the Trim Object Part specifies the coordinates of the part of the object located among the trim objects to be trimmed. Indicating this part can be performed graphically in the drawing area or by using a slider.

To trim the member or object trim:

1. Select the members or objects that define the trim edges.
2. Select the member or object which has the part to be trimmed.
3. Indicate the part of the trim member or object, which is to be trimmed (define the coordinate or indicate on the screen).
