New User with a question about trimmiing

I am used to Autocad Lite and have been trying to draw the wrench in one of the tutorials.  I cannot seem to get trim or trim two to work on removing parts of circles.  I have even tried Divide.  Any suggestions.  Maybe this subject has been covered before on the forum.  Is there a way to look it up?

Since it says introduce myself, I am a 75 year old retired from 47 years of Civil Engineering and 5+ years as a golf pro.  I was a beekeeper for a while too.  I live in Jacksonville Florida.

hi Vonzipper:

I found a basic trimming video tutorial:

The steps are like:
Trim (One): Trims one entity up to a limiting entity.
1. Select Modify -> Trim (or tr in command line).
2. Click the line that acts as the boundary (the cutting edge).
3. Click the part of the line you want to keep.


Trimming a circle works similarly: after selecting a limiting curve/line, click on the portion of the circle to preserve, so the portion on the other side will be trimmed.

Trimming two works mostly, but is not as robust as trimming one.

Feel free to ask for further questions.
