Trim Problem

[trhoads]

I am using AutoCAD 2004, and have a problem with trimming lines.

 

The screenshot attached shows the problem. I select a polyline as my line to trim to, and then click inside the small square to trim out the soild line that intersects my trim line. It leaves tails of the original line that extend beyond my trim line. WHY?

 

I am a very experienced CAD person, and this is happening a lot with 2004. I never had this happen in r14. It does not matter if I select a line to trim to, or just select all to trim to, i get this a lot now, mostly when working on details.

 

Anyone have any ideas on why it does this? Any help would be really appreciated. This makes it hard to join them all into one p-line, when all these little tails show up.

 

Thanks for any help.

Haven't experienced this one.

What threw me for a while was the Shift Select default!

 

Have you tried changing the TRIMMODE variable?

[trhoads]

TRIMMODE is set to 1, the other option, 0, will not trim chamfers and fillets the right way.

 

Shift Select default, that one I am not familiar with. We just recently changed to 2004, so far so good, just a few bugs I am not pleased with.

Did you check the edgemode variable?

Try setting "edgemode" from 1 to 0

Hope this helps

I think that is the solution, thank you very much. There is always something new to learn.

I second that...
