l (^) Trim away outside. Functions exactly like the Trim away inside option, except that
sketch entities outside of the boundary are discarded. The Trim away inside and Trim

l Trim to closest. This is the default setting. Clicking a sketch entity will:
l (^) Trim it back to the next entity if there is only one crossing entity.
l Trim between two crossing entities if there is more than one.

In all cases, the selected section of the entity is removed. The Trim to closest option can
also extend when you drag one entity to another; if an intersection is possible, the first
entity is extended to the second entity. Figure 3.17 illustrates how the Trim to closest
option functions.
