IntelliTrim

Used to simultaneously trim, extend or cut multiple elements.

The cutting elements or elements to which you can extend other elements are lines, line strings, ellipses, arcs, curves, shapes, complex strings, complex shapes, text nodes, and cell headers.

Elements that can be cut or trimmed are lines, line strings, curves, arcs, ellipses, shapes, B-spline curves, complex strings, and complex shapes.

The only elements that can be extended are lines, line strings, complex chains that end with a line or line string, and b-spline curves.
