When you're using the TRIM or EXTEND commands, the objects you're using as cutting or boundary edges don't necessarily have to touch the objects you're trimming/extending. Setting the system variable EDGEMODE to 1 allows you to use an implied intersection as a cutting or boundary edge. This setting will stay until you put it back by setting EDGEMODE to 0.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
