How can I trim multiple wires without selecting each wire individually?

Can you share a screenshot showing an example of wires you'd like to trim?

 So let's say I want to trim the highlighted wires: is there a way to select all of them and trim simultaneously? Using the trim tool, it seems like I have to select each wire individually 🤔...I'm just hoping there's a faster way. 😉

If you use the Trim Wire command, you have the FENCE option...

Hey! Thanks so much! I had been misusing the fence tool!! You said Fence works, so I looked up how to use Fence again and found that's all it was! That's awesome! 🤣 Gonna save quite a bit time...especially on more complex components that don't use all the terminals!


Appreciate the pointers!
