Description
The Sketcher Trimming tool trims an edge at the nearest intersections with other edges. If the selected edge does not intersect other edges it is deleted.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- If there is a previous selection it is cleared. The tool does not accept a pre-selection.
- The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
- There are two modes:
- Single-click trim:
- Move the cursor over a portion of an edge to be trimmed.
- The edge is highlighted and the trim points are marked with temporary circles.
- Click to confirm.
- The edge is trimmed at the marked points.
- Hold-and-drag trim: introduced in 1.0
- Hold down the left mouse button.
- Move the cursor over portions of edges to be trimmed.
- Trimming occurs immediately.
- Release the left mouse button.
- Single-click trim:
- If a portion is cut out, existing applicable constraints are transferred to the resulting new edge. Point-on-object constraints are added between the endpoint(s) of the trimmed edge and the cutting edge(s).
- This tool always runs in continue mode: optionally keep trimming edges.
- To finish, click in an empty area in the 3D View, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
