AutoCAD Architecture 2008 - Apparent intersection not trimming

[dficarra]

Hi,

I'm using ACA 2008 and used to be able to pick two lines that didn't physically cross each other and use the trim command to trim them based on where they would cross if they extended to each other.  But it doesn't seem to do it anymore.

Best way I can describe it is it used to trim at the apparent interestion of where they would come to gether.  I'm sure there's some easy fix to this, just don't know where it's at.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

What part?
Post a DWG portion with the problem, point to what you tried and with what objects in the file, let's all text it for ourselves.

Your two lines are not co-planar.  TRIM will not work on them.  You can grip edit the endpoint of the line to be trimmed and use the Apparent Intersection object snap override to get the endpoint of that line to move to the apparent intersection of the two lines.

Try to change Command: EDGEMODE from 0 to 1 this will work!!!

same when you like to extend aparent but not touching lines.

EDGEMODE=1
