    Default Trimming multiple lines in AutoCAD LT 2005

    Hello all,

    I have recently moved back from Autocad 2007 to Autocad 2005LT (changed job), and when trimming multiple lines, rather than just use the mouse to select the rest of the lines i want to trim, I have to select every single line?

    My question is, is there a way to trim multiply lines quickly rather than selecting every one of them one by one, or the only way is to use the fence function to trim them? Maybe its just a setting(s) I couldnt find from the option menu?

    Many thanks

    Vince

    as far as I know fence is your only option in 05'

    If that is an option in 07' that is a great addition to the trim and extend command.

    Back in Auto Cad 14 there was a Bonus command for multi-line trim. I have not seen it in any other versions. I used it all the time. Now I have 2005 and I just use the fence command.
