TechBeat Tuesday – AutoCAD Tip #7: How to Use Trim and Extend Even Faster

I’ll show you some simple workflows that I use to save time and make AutoCAD work even more efficiently. Trim and Extend are two important commands that I use – A LOT. These tips for making those commands work even faster can save you a little bit of time that will add up to a lot of time saving in the long term.

METHOD 1

Start the trim tr; or extend ex command – press enter twice

…now everything is a cutting or boundary edge

METHOD 2

Use the fillet f command, select first line then shift select second line to extend and join lines in one step. Thanks to Beekee for alerting me to this little gem.
