Offline Peter B over 7 years ago

Can I just say that I'm completely shocked that one of the best MS tools - IntelliTrim and QuickTrim - have been removed. Can this tool please be brought back asap?

Sure you can. Once you get the hang of Trim Multiple, you'll never think back to this dated tool called IntelliTrim. I used to remove it from the Interface, since it served no purpose whatsoever because…

Trim multiple with Trim, or Trim and Extend option: Drag, drag, result. Try beating that with IntelliTrim. There are more ways of identifying an element than simple clicking on it. I think it's safe…

Trim multiple has taken its place. Have you tried this tool ?

Thanks for your swift response, Tim. Yes, I have, but it cannot trim many lines with one mouse click simply by drawing a line across all ends to be trimmed like QuickTrim. So I feel catapulted back to MS 95 where you had to trim line by line...

Give it a go. Way better than the old tool.

I haven't used 357, since 459 came out, but I think it's pretty much the same in that version.

Hi Koert, thanks for your swift response. I have no idea how to trim several lines with one click in the new Trim Multiple. Could you explain how I do this please? I have three options: Trim and Extend, Trim, Extend, that's it. How to draw a line like in QuickTrim?

Select cutting elements and drag a line across the elements to trim. See the Help or David's post. That works in 459, probably in 357 as well.
