This tool is used to cleanup drawing geometry at the extents of a polyline boundary. It provides options to erase adjacent geometry as well as trim geometry crossing the fence of the polyline.
First select the boundary polyline, only one can be selected. Designate the desired options in the following dialog.
The top section allows you to toggle which object types should be
affected by
the operation. Note that some objects such as
text and inserts cannot be trimmed.
In the middle of the dialog is a toggle that determines whether to
prompt for objects to process.
If you want to isolate the drawings contents to that of the selected
polyline, turn this toggle on.
Note that all geometry in the drawing is effected, even that outside
the current viewport.
Many users will prefer to turn this toggle off so they will be prompted
for the geometry to manipulate.
The bottom row allows you to choose whether to erase all geometry on the inside or outside.
Prerequisite: Entities, and a closed polyline
