Help with Trimming certain Linestyles

[Chris_SSA]

Hello,

Been using AutoCAD for quite some time now. However something was changed and I am having a problem with my trim.

I use quick trim and trim to a cutting edge all the time. I use to be able and trim multiple dashed line types, regardless of if my trim was going through the dash or a space of that line type. For the life of me, I cannot get it to work like it use to. My trim has to actually touch the dash part of the line. If my trim line goes through a space part of the line type, it will not trim the line. Just looking to be able and trim dashed lines with one quick motion again rather than having to go back and trim all the lines that didn't get trimmed. Please see my screenshot.

Thanks!

Hi,

the general object detection on objects with linetype non-continuous LTGAPSELECTION [F1]

[Chris_SSA]

Thanks, but that did not work. That seems to allow snapping to the elements withing the linetype.

Right, it allows to DETECT elements, also if you "select" the object within a gap.

That's what you trying.

Turn it on(1), try it again

And check the NOTE in help doc, i linked to

"select" is highlighted for you. BUT... also note that last line starting with NOTE

Thanks for both of your help. I did have hardware acceleration turned on, but it was the 2D display settings. It was switched to Intermediate, and switching it back to advanced mode, ended up working!

I would have never thought of it, and did not see the "NOTE" Thanks for pointing that out!

We are back in business!
