1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So we're going to look at this trim and extend command now AutoCAD.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Sometimes it makes improvements to commands and.

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Yeah, they're not always improvements straight away.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Sometimes they need a bit of work.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
In the latest version, they did change the trim command a bit.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Personally, I liked it the way it was.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
The new command works.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
It's a bit it works how you how you would want it to on a basic join.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
But when you get into advanced joins it can be quite resource hungry I've found and because I don't

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
know what computers you're working on things like that it's easier if we just set it to how it was,

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
which is how you'll find it if you ever work on an old machine.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Okay, so what I want you to do is type in trim mode.

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Okay, so tr I am mode and yours might be set to zero, whatever it's set to.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
We want to set it to one.

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So just type in one enter.

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Okay.

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And there you go.

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And now all our trim modes will be the same.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So this lesson will make much more sense and we'll look at trim and extend it is basically how it sounds.

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So let's say we've got a line, we've drawn a polyline and we've got another line and someone's drawn

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
that either didn't have the snap turned on or it was just rough, or maybe you're just editing it down.

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Okay.

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
You want these lines to be a right angle?

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
You want them to you want to trim these loose ends off.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
So we'll go to trim.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And it's going to ask us trim objects.

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Okay, So we want to select that object and then we right click.

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And now it'll say select the object to trim.

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
So we want to trim that and right click.

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Okay.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And that in essence, is the basics of that command.

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So.

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So you select the first object is the object you want to use as kind of a trim edge where you want to

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
trim to.

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
You right click and then you select the object you want to trim, but you're selecting the side.

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
You want to disappear.

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Okay, so whichever side you select is the side that will disappear like that.

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And it's not just used on corners.

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Let's say we had something like this and we had a line coming through.

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
We'll select trim and we want to trim objects.

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
So we're going to select multiple objects by doing a window up that way.

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Remember, if we do it that way, we only need to touch them.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
If we did it that way, we'd have to go the whole line.

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So we'll go up that way and it's going to select these four lines and we right click and now we can

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
trim in between those lines and right click like that.

46
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,000
There you go.

47
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Okay, so that's the trim command.

48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Next to the trim command, we have the extend command, which you've probably guessed what it does.

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
It's similar.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
It just does the opposite.

51
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So.

52
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
We want to extend an object, where do we want to extend it to?

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
So if I select this line and right click, I can then select.

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Well, it will extend it.

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Okay.

56
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
And again.

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You can select multiple.

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
So we could extend that one in both directions.

59
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
And that's just left clicking.

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I'll go through that click again.

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
So extend.

62
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
So we left, click the command, we left, click the lines we want to extend to right click to say we've

63
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
finished the selection and then we left click the ends.

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It's important.

65
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It's going to want you to click towards the end of a line.

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
You want to move.

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay?

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And it will.

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
It's quite intuitive.

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
It will know it automatically.

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And then to finish that command, we right click.

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
So that's the trim and extend command again.

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
You'll use those a lot.
