Creating a Corner Between Two Entities AutoSketch can create a corner at the intersection of a line, arc, or polyline with another. If the two entities you specify do not intersect, AutoSketch automatically extends one or both of them until they meet. If part of either entity extends beyond the intersection, it automatically trims off that part on the opposite side of the intersection from where you click. This process forms a perfect corner that would otherwise require manual editing. This procedure does not create a single entity by joining the two entities together. The two entities you specify remain separate entities. For information on joining lines, arcs, and polylines, see page 294. To form a corner between two entities 1 On the Edit menu, click Trim, Corner, or click the Corner button on the All-In-One toolbar. 2 Click the first entity you want to trim. Click the portion of the entity you want to keep, near the point where it intersects the second entity. 3 Click the second entity you want to trim. Again, click the portion of the entity you want to keep, near the intersection with the first entity. AutoSketch creates the corner by extending the entities to the intersection and removing any excess. 286 | Chapter 23 Trimming Entities
