Project: HiCAD 3-D

Trim Sketch Elements

Sketch > Process > Trim

Deletes a section of a sketch element up to the nearest intersection point with another sketch element. Intersection points of lines, circular arcs and circles are allowed.

When you move the cursor over the sketch in your drawing, HiCAD will check, depending on the current cursor position, whether the sketch element has any intersection points with other sketch elements. If this is the case, the portion of the element that would be deleted will be highlighted in a different colour (magenta, Special colour Marking 1). The portions of the element that would be preserved as well as their end points will also be highlighted (Special colour Preview). The end points will be represented as small spheres.

Click to perform the deletion.

Click to open a menu with further functions for the processing of sketch elements:

Trim
	Trim line, in screen plane
	Trim line, in processing plane
Change length
	Lengthen line, by value
	Lengthen line, to surface/line/point
Divide
	Divide line, via number of segments
	Divide line, via point
	Polyline In this menu you will find further functions for a processing of polylines. Connect and divide polylines Change points of a polyline
Others
	Change radius
	Close corner
	Close polyline Closes open sketches, i.e. connects start and end points by means of a line.

Please note:

Existing HCM constraints are considered by this function.
For 3-D sketches, Coincidence constraints will be applied (if possible) between the new line end and the line to which the trimming was made .

Also adjusted may be length-like HCM constraints (Distance, length, Aperture angle), e.g. if no Coincidence constraints are applied.
