It is very interesting learning a new CAD app.

TRIM can only pick one cut line at a time. No trimming between two obj. And you pick the side of the obj to keep not trim off. To trim between 2 obj I've found the DIVIDE command works, it breaks an obj at a point. Have to delete the unwanted section after dividing.

There is an OFFSET cmd (I used it a lot in ACAD) but it doesn't work like ACAD. The PARALLEL command is the most similar and actually pretty cool.

My issue with the LC Manual is it gives a description of the command, but doesn't give a prompt by prompt how to use it. Have to learn by trial and error.

Good luck. Us old ACADers can help each other get acclimated. ;-)
