Extend and trim sketch geometry
- Now that we've learned how to create geometry, let's look at how we can modify geometry using the trim and extend tools. On the screen I have a new blank part, and I'm going to go ahead and right click and select new sketch. And then you select the x y plane to begin sketching. Again, just like normal, we'll pan down and to the left and give ourselves a little room to work. So let's create a basic shape we can use to explore trim and extend. We're going to right click in the graphics window and select create line. Just like normal, we're going to hover near the origin, left click to begin. And we're not worried about the dimensions overall, so we're not going to enter those now. We can simply left click and create the basic shape I'm creating here on the screen. Once we have this basic geometry, we're ready to begin looking at trim and extend. Let's say for example, a design change was made, and we no longer need this…
