Is there a way to trim a feature line with an XREF?

[mlopezQSJLB]

I'm trying to trim a feature line with respect to an xref but it doesn't let me choose the xref as the cutting edge. Is there a faster way to do this than to ncopy the xref line and then trim?

You can simply just draw a line over the xref line that you are trying to trim to.

Hi @mlopezQSJLB 

I don't believe there is a way to select thru an xref to pick a Cutting Edge. However, for all other objects besides a Feature Line, there is the AEC Modify Tools, available from the right click menu! It accomplish what you are looking for. The AEC Trim command will let you draw a virtual Cutting Edge rather than selecting a cutting edge! so you can simply trace a short section of the Xref! But it works on AutoCAD objects only.

I created a short screencast video to demonstrate.

Hope this helps,
