Stop Trimming AutoCAD Lines One by One
Aug 17, 2026
Still clicking every unwanted AutoCAD line segment one by one?
TRIM has a faster Quick Mode. Press and drag across multiple unwanted segments to trim them in a single freehand selection instead of selecting every piece individually.
Command sequence:
TRIM → Quick Mode → Press and Drag Across Unwanted Segments
In Quick Mode, all drawing objects automatically act as potential cutting edges.
Important:
Only swipe across the geometry you want to remove. Objects that cannot be trimmed may be deleted when selected in Quick Mode.
Use this method for grids, floor plans, structural layouts, details, and drawings containing many intersecting lines.
