Select cutting edges: (Projmode = UCS,
Edgemode = No extend)
Select objects: Use an object selection method
<Select object to trim>
/ Project / Edge / Undo:
Select an object, enter an option, or press ENTER
Objects that can be trimmed include arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, lines, open 2D and 3D polylines, rays, xlines, and splines.
Select the objects that define the cutting edges at which you want to trim an object, or press ENTER to select all objects as potential cutting edges. Valid cutting edge objects include 2D and 3D polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, lines, floating viewports, rays, splines, text, and xlines.
Specifies the object to trim. AutoCAD LT repeats the main TRIM prompt with its options so that you can trim multiple objects. Pressing ENTER ends the command.

If the point you used to select the object is between the end of the object and a cutting edge, TRIM removes the portion of the object extending beyond the cutting edge. If the selection point is between two cutting edges, the portion between is deleted and the portions outside are preserved, turning one object into two.
AutoCAD LT trims wide 2D polylines at their center lines. If the polyline is tapered, the width at the cutting edge is the same after trimming. The ends of a wide polyline are always square. Cutting a wide polyline at an angle causes portions of the end to extend beyond the cutting edge. Trimming a spline-fit polyline turns the curve-fit information into ordinary polyline segments.
Specifies the Projection mode AutoCAD LT uses when trimming objects.
None / Ucs / View <current>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Specifies no projection. AutoCAD LT trims only objects that intersect the boundary edge in 3D space.

 |
 |
Specifies projection onto the XY plane of the current UCS. AutoCAD LT trims objects that do not intersect with the boundary objects in 3D space.
|
|
|
 |
Specifies projection along the current view direction. AutoCAD LT trims objects that intersect the boundary in the current view.

Determines whether the cutting edge is extended along its natural path to trim an object or must intersect an object in order to trim it.
Extend / No extend <current>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Extends the cutting edge along its natural path to trim an object in 3D space
Specifies that the object is to be trimmed only at a cutting edge that intersects it in 3D space.
Reverses the most recent change made by TRIM.
Related Commands: BREAK erases parts of an object or splits an object in two. EXTEND extends an object to meet another object.
System Variables: EDGEMODE determines whether an object is trimmed at another object's implied edge, or only to an object that intersects it in 3D space. PROJMODE sets the Projection mode AutoCAD LT uses when trimming objects.
