Don\u2019t let go of your left mouse button until you\u2019re comfortable with your trim. if you accidentally trim a little too far, move your mouse back to the red square to undo last\u00a0and try again!<\/li>\n<li>Already knew that one? How about clicking and\u00a0dragging an entity to extend it?\u00a0You can also use this click and drag method to separate corners\u00a0rather than trimming away a whole segment and redrawing.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, with Power Trim active, you can left click\u00a0an entity to trim, and then move your mouse to the location you\u2019d like to trim or extend to and left click\u00a0again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Yu3S3g8EToU?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Trim Command, head over to MySolidWorks and check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/my.solidworks.com\/mylearning\/lessons\/512\/sketch-trimming\" target=\"_blank\">Sketch: Trimming Training Module<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Originally posted by Rachel Diane York in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/2015\/08\/solidworks-tech-tip-power-trim-3-quick-tips-you-might-not-know.html\" target=\"_blank\">SOLIDWORKS Tech Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/products\/products-solidworks\" target=\"_blank\">Find out more on SOLIDWORKS<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Sales<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/demo-request\" target=\"_blank\">Request a Demo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mkt.solidworks.com\/emarketing_enu\/start.swe?SWECmd=InvokeMethod&amp;SWEMethod=StartSS&amp;SWEView=URLRouter&amp;SWEApplet=SSRoute&amp;SWENargs=SSId=1-3IX8UQC,SSName=REP+ENG-INTL+SW+Inspection+Feature+Article,SSLC=,SSCC=,CID=1-3J990KL,OID=1-3IX3OU9,COID=1-3J990KM,PRO=1-NKZ7N\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3005\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_SWInspection_FeatureArticle_728x90_ENG.jpg\" alt=\"REP_SWInspection_FeatureArticle_728x90_ENG\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_SWInspection_FeatureArticle_728x90_ENG.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_SWInspection_FeatureArticle_728x90_ENG-300x37.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bet you use Power Trim on a regular basis.
