Trim template objects such as lines when you want to modify them quickly and accurately. Trimming a line object will align it with the selected line.

Trimming only applies to line objects.

Do the following:

  1. Click the line you want to target.
  2. Click the trim button on the Format toolbar.
  3. Click the line to trim to the target line.

    You can also make an area selection to select and trim many lines simultaneously.

The line is trimmed by the difference between the target line and the line you select to trim.
