    Cool blocks & trimming

    is there a way to trim a block? Maybe with express tools?

    Do you mean lines within a block, without altering the block? No.

    What specific application do you have for trimming a block? Maybe someone can come up with a work around for you.

    Hi

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    If you want to trim a block to achieve hidden line removal, try the wipeout command.

    If you have only one block existing in the drawing, can use "refedit". But keep in mind that if the same bloks are repeated in the drawing all will be redefined as the edited one.
