Using Command Preview
Command preview, in the Preview area of the Selection tab of the Options dialog box (Figure 3-55), enables you to preview the results of Trim, Extend, Lengthen, Break, and MatchProp operations before actually selecting the objects. The command also enables you to preview Fillet, Chamfer, and Offset operations.
For example, the Trim and Extend tools provide a preview of the results before you commit the selection. After you select the cutting or boundary edges, you simply pass the cursor over the object you want to trim or extend. A preview of the resulting object is displayed. When you are trimming, the segment to be removed is dimly displayed, and a cursor badge indicates that it will be deleted.
