TRIM
Watch the Trim prompts carefully. You cannot pick the objects to trim until you have selected all cutting edges (the edge to which the object is trimmed) and pressed the <Enter> key, so that the prompt Select object to trim or shift-select to extend or [Fence Crossing Project Edge eRase Undo]: appears. If you are unable to trim an object because it does not intersect a cutting edge, and you have selected all as the cutting edges, hold the <Shift> key down and click on the entity to extend while still in the TRIM command.
