Intersection Trim

[Paul Sweet]

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered numerous times, but a quick search didn't turn up any posts.

Generic CADD had a neat tool where you could click on 2 points at the intersection of 2 pairs of lines, and it would automatically cut & trim the lines to produce a T or + intersection. It was a real timesaver in drawing floor plans. I haven't found a native tool in AutoCAD which does this. Does anybody know of a lisp routine or other add-on to do this?

Use the fillet command with the radius set to zero. Here is a toolbutton macro:

^C^C_fillet r 0

A T intersection isn't too bad, it only requires one Break and two Fillets. However, a + intersection takes four Breaks and four Fillets. This gets tedious after a while.

Right now if I have a plan with a lot of intersections I'm drawing the plan and trimming the intersections in VisualCADD (a Windows version of Generic CADD) then copying it into AutoCAD.
