Re: My question on "Trim two", I may have mis-stated. I'd like to clarify.
Let's say I have a line drawn on an x axis. There are also two lines drawn across the y axis and each one crosses the x axis line, close to, but not at, the opposite ends of the x axis line.
My goal is to trim the portion of the x axis line that is between these two y axis lines.
The program does prompt me to select the first trim entity. I do so and the first vertical (y axis) line is selected.
I'm then prompted to select the second trim entity. When I do so both y axis lines extend and both are de-selected.
If this is not the purpose of trim two why am I asked to pick a first trim entity and then asked to pick the second trim entity only to have both y axis extend and become de-selected. if I wanted to extend these lines I would simply go to extend on the appropriate tool bar. Trim two implies that two separate selections are to be made which is exactly what I was prompted to do.
Thanks for your indulgence with my ignorance on this subject.
