Trim tool not working

[Anonymous]

When I try to use the trim tool, it extends the line or does not trim to an intersection? it only offers to extend or trim say 60% of that line?

Hi,

I suggest to try change mOde while TRIM command is active  Mode=Standard .

Hi, does this mean trim mode = 0 ?

Your issue is related to trim command as you said ... Select object to trim or shift-select to extend . So be sure that you're not pressing Shift while Trimming .

Ive tried this. I am not holding shift. I select trim, hit enter to trim freely. I have attached a video to show the issue

For the issue of only trimmimg 60% of the line try setting EDGEMODE to 0

Your drawing is way way too far away from 0,0,0 in your file: that's your problem.

Move your content back to near 0,0,0

How far away, you may ask?  About 34 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

If it has all been moved closer to the origin [which worked for me], and it didn't fix the problem for you, post your version of the revised drawing.

@Kent1Cooper I posted the file I fixed, all the weirdness with grips not showing + TRIM works fine after the move in R2021.1 and R2020.1.2.

@Anonymous Try the file I posted, no issue there for me. BTW, have you considered using XREFs?
