Trimming Geometry

The geometry Trimming tool allows trimming at the intersecting point between two segments of geometry.

To Trim existing geometry, perform the following:

Select the Trimming button from the Modifying Toolbar.

Select additional geometry, or touch in a empty space on the display to complete the selection process.

Now select the geometry be trim against, and touch in a empty space on the display. Only 2 geometry items can be selected to trim against. After the second geometry item is selected, CAM will move on to the next step of selecting which geometry to keep.

Select the portion of the trim geometry that is to be kept, and touch in a empty space on the display.

The existing geometry is now trimmed.
