You can trim and break splines now. Where are you seeing the problem?

Mark,

 

Thanks for the response. I should have been more specific. I'm unable to trim an offset spline (generated by offsetting another spline).

So, there might be two issues:

I was unable to trim an offset spline to a point specified on the spline.

My colleague was able to trim an offset spline, but could not make the location of the offset point parametric.

The trouble with trimming an offset spline or any offset geometry is it destroys the offset so the 2 curves are no longer linked. Do you really need to trim the offset curve? Fusion can extrude closed profiles without trimming or do you need the curve for a rail or some other use? You get similar problems with projected curves where they can't be trimmed without breaking the link so they are no longer linked to the source geometry. 

 

As Fusion doesn't need the curves timmed for extrusions and lofts most of the time it doesn't matter but if you really need the curve trimmed to use as a guide rail the it is a limitation.

 

You could workaround it using a surface in the patch workspace but it would not be a nice workaround, OK for one or two splines but not good if you use it a lot.
