Is there a "Extrim" function in fusion 360 just like in autocad?

Hi,

 

I could not find any solution for this. I would like to trim everything outside a (for example) circle. Is there any option for this? Otherwise I just need to trim each line one by one. In short, just like this video. I need such solution. Thanks for the support.

I don't think Fusion has such a command but if you select the trim tool and then left click and hold, you can sweep over lines and trim as you go.

Hi, unfortunately the lines are so that when I trim everything there are small lines that are still there. ı need to check them one by one via zooming to each section which does not work for me. Thanks

Your sketch in not fully defined.

Pattern Features - not sketch elements.

Back in a few minutes with correct technique....

 

There are a hundred variations on this basic theme, depending on your true Design Intent.

I accidentally entered the wrong spacing in my attached file, but you can easily edit...

Hi, thank you. But I dont want to extrude the selected section so that the rest just disappear. I know that but what I am asking is, just like the example video in my first post, if I can just delete everything inside/outside a shape.

 

Thanks

That functionality does not exist in Fusion 360, neither does I make a lot of sense in a parametric sketch solver. If you absolutely need it then I'd suggest you stick with AutoCAD.

 

But if you do want to work in a parametric 3D CAD software you likely need to forget some of your obsolete AutoCAD habits and learn a few new things.

What is your Design Intent, your end goal? (Don't worry about how to get there in Fusion as compared to 2D AutoCAD.) 

First describe your Design Intent.
