Trimming vectors

Trimming vectors

An object can be trimmed precisely to the boundary defined by one or more objects. A trimming boundary can be composed of lines, arcs, circles, polylines, and others. If a trimming boundary has any width, then the objects to be trimmed are trimmed along the centreline of this boundary. An Edge can be used as a boundary.

To Trim vectors by boundary

In the following example, first select a line that will be a trimming boundary, then specify one by one the objects to be trimmed.

Selected trimming boundary Result

1. Select a vector object to be used as a trimming boundary.
2. Choose Trim Vectors By Edge from the Correct menu or press the button on the Vector Correction toolbar.
3. Specify a part of the vector object to be trimmed.

To Trim vectors by Edge

In the following example, first specify as Edge, then select the objects to be trimmed by this Edge. All parts of the selected vector objects located outside the Edge are trimmed.

Before applying Trim by Edge Result

1. Set an Edge.
 For more information on setting of the Edge see Correcting by Edge.
2. Select the vectors to trim.
 This command can only be applied to non-closed vector objects.
3. Choose Trim vectors By Edge from the Correct menu or press the button on the Vector Correction toolbar.
