It is not clear from Remark's remark, which is in the past tense, whether the problem still exists.

Perhaps a clarification could be posted. Thank you

Did you try the Trim Command?

It just appeared as though the question got cut off in mid sentence and I half expected to see an attached image. That's all.

Maybe the OP solved his question before he finished asking it; or he pressed the 'Panic Button' as his boss hovered over his shoulder

Actually I exploded the hatch to trim. Trimming vertical or horizontal objects with the rectangular trim command is a breeze but on angled objects it's tedious to zoom in and select every little line to trim. I was wondering if someone had a fast way tip to trim all the little pieces coming off the angle line in 1 or 2 steps.

I believe a solution is depicted above. Go back and take a look.

Try trimming without exploding the hatch (which, BTW, is considered a capital offense in some/most offices)

Also, are you aware of the Fence option to select objects? It's handy for selecting objects to trim.

Another solution is to simply recreate the hatch.

Most of the time I don't explode the hatch but for some situations its easier.

The fence command is great tho, just what I was after, thanks!

You can trim hatch objects directly in 2010 - no need to explode...

Also -Try the 'FENCE' Option of the trim command to slect lots of bitty-bits.

Whoops, two late...
