Trim Corner Tool

What it Does

Makes two lines meet in a clean corner. You select an end point on each line. The tool finds where the two lines cross and moves both lines so they end at that spot. A line that is too short is made longer, and a line that goes past the crossing is cut back.

Use this when two lines almost meet, or cross and overshoot, and you want a neat corner.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by selecting the Trim Corner icon
2. Select the end point of the first line, near the corner you want
3. Select the end point of the second line
4. Select Continue
5. Check the corner in the workspace. A new corner point is added where the lines meet
6. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to discard it

If the lines never cross, even when extended, a message says no intersections were found. Select Cancel and choose different points.

info

The two points you selected are removed once the lines move to the new corner point. If another line is still attached to one of those points, that point is kept so the other line is not left without an end.

warning

Parallel lines never cross, so they cannot be trimmed into a corner. When the lines have to be extended to meet, they are only extended a limited distance.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the trim is remembered.
