Derrick022 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hello, everybody! For conducting Boolean operation, I use Trim but I feel troublesome since many selections have to be carried out. So I wonder are there some new way to simplify the process? Hope anyone could give me some advice. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am assuming you are talking about how to select multiple sections - try qselect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 AutoCAD LT? Start the TRIM command. Give the Enter key two quick taps. Now EVERYTHING in your drawing becomes an entity that can trim and at the same time be trimmed by another entity. Simple...quick...effective. The boolean commands in AutoCAD work only on solids or regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick022 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi, Grant. Does qselect can select all the objects to be operated at one time? Does AutoCAD 2012 can do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick022 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 ReMark, tahnk you for your advice. I know that Trim command can reach this but I have to convert the area surrounded by the polylines into region first. And also complicated selections. I hope such kind of tedious work can be get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It is a good way to filter what you want to select EG select everything on a certain layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick022 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I can't attach picture directly on this forum and it only accept image link. Anyway thank you for your help. I can reach the goal by Trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
