Trim/L,to,L
Trim Line to Line
Trims a line to a line boundary. Start/End selector specifies which endpoint.
What It Does
The Trim/L,to,L operator trims a line to a line boundary. The Start/End selector specifies which endpoint of the line to trims.
Trims vs Extend: Trim shortens an entity to reach a boundary. Extend lengthens an entity to a boundary.
Syntax
Trim/L,to,L, LINE, to, LINE, Start|End
Quick Input
LINE: [reference]
LINE: [boundary reference]
End: ● Start ○ End
Direction Selector
| Selector | Meaning |
|---|---|
Start | Trim the start endpoint of the line to the line |
End | Trim the end endpoint of the line to the line |
The line is shortened to meet the boundary line at the selected endpoint.
Worked Examples
L0=horizontal (0,0)→(100,0), L1=vertical X=60
Trim/L0, to, L1, End
→ L0: (0,0)→(60,0) [end trimmed to L1]
Trim/L0, to, L1, Start
→ L0: (60,0)→(100,0) [start trimmed to L1]
Analytic Rule
Find intersection of line and line.
Move the selected endpoint to the intersection.
The line is shortened to meet the boundary.
Result: Exact analytic trim.
FAQ
What if the line does not intersect the line?
XyzPilot returns an error. The line must intersect the line.
What is the difference between Trim and Extend?
Trim shortens an entity to a boundary. Extend lengthens an entity to reach a boundary. Both use the same Start/End selector.
