FIGURE 3.13

The Trim interface


l (^) Power trim. Trims by dragging a cursor trail over multiple entities. The entities that you
drag the cursor over are trimmed back to the next intersecting sketch entity. Each time
you trim an entity, a red box remains until you trim the next entity. If you backtrack with
the cursor and touch the red box, this trim is undone. This option is best used when you
need to trim a large number of entities that are easy to hit with a moving cursor. Figure
3.14 shows the Power Trim feature in action.
