Hello Readers,

I am Vid from CadOasis , 

As a DraftSight Professional user I am always eager to explore new Functionality offered by DraftSight 

In this post .  I would like to highlight 'Power Trim and Corner trim' functionality in DraftSight 2015.

DraftSight Come up with very cool features for premium customers in DraftSight 2015  : Power Trim and Corner Trim.

These features will definitely boost your speed than  regular Trimming method once you know how much beneficial these tools are.

Where are these features in DraftSight 2015?

And on Modify Toolbar with same Symbols .

Also DraftSight introduced new Command POWERTRIM  .

When we run Command POWERTRIM then command line options are

Default: eXit

Options:Corner, Undo or eXit

From Command Line options  you can change power trim to Corner Trim .

Q. So how fast yo can trim left side portion and make it like right  ?

Answer: with Power Trim in one go! 

How it works ?

Power Trim: 

When you click on Power trim Tab or run Powertrim command then left click inside GA and Start dragging mouse cursor over entities which you want to  trim. Follow path as shown in following image. Temporary grey line path will be shown as you move your mouse cursor. When you release left click then this grey line path disappears.  

Corner Trim: 

This is very simple feature if you have two intersecting line and want to trim at Corner.

When this option is in use then Mouse pointer will change to Picbox to pic lines where you want to corner trim as below. After selecting first line and move picbox over second line then this will highlight trimming portion as dashed lines as below.

Click second line and repeat this step for rest lines result will be as below.

 Isn't it in Simple and Yet powerful way to trim entities !  What's your opinion on this?   :)
