Extending Entities to Boundaries

You can use Power Trim to extend lines to boundaries.

This method lets you lengthen or shorten an entity to an invisible extension of another entity. Sub-entities of blocks and references are recognized as boundaries.

There are some limitations:

  • You cannot extend polylines or splines.
  • You cannot change a line's direction.
  1. Click Modify > Power Trim or Power Trim (Modify toolbar).
  2. To extend a single line to the nearest boundary:
    1. Click the line to extend.
    2. Click the boundary.
  3. To extend multiple lines to the nearest boundary:
    1. Press Shift, then click in the graphics area next to the first entity you want to extend and drag across the entity to extend it.
    2. Continue to press the mouse button and drag across each entity to extend.
    3. Release the point when you are finished extending entities.
  4. Press Enter.
