AutoCad :: Trimming A Door Jamb
Nov 18, 2011
New to Autocad and using Autocad 2010. I am trying to trim a door jamb and attached my project in this thread. The attached picture coming close to finishing the drawing. There are other door jambs in the drawing that I have not started.
Trimming the door jamb I have selected several lines. Appearing in the attachment as two horizontal lines located above the lower left square and the left vertical outside double line border. These are my step to trim these lines.
Extend Command. Select both horizontal lines. Press Enter to end the command.
Trim Command: Select both horizontal lines once more. Enter.
Select vertical outside lines. Enter twice.
Trim Command running select both horizontal lines again. press Enter.
Completing the jamb in the drawing the two horizontal lines still there only as dashed lines. After saving the project these lines appear as solid lines.
Coming close with these steps. Is it possible to show me how to trim the door jamb following these guide lines I have outlined.

In my previous post of the same subject, I managed to create a door style using a custom made profile for the jamb .However I have been having a lot of problems trying to make the door leaf sit properly between the jambs. Attached is what I'm trying to achieve - is that possible in ACA? (BTW this was done in Revit)..

I working on a deadline with little sleep, but I cannot believe it is this hard to get an overhead door to look right. All I want is a 1" thick frame, the same depth as the wall AND the door slab to be INSIDE the frame like a real overhead door.
The attached PDF shows the standard OH door on the left with the stupid door centered in the frame. The door on the right is one I created by inserting a cased opening in the wall, then manually drawing a rectangle and dashed line for the OH swing. All I am interested in is getting this right in plan at this point. Using Architecture 64 bit.

I have ACAD Arch 2012 and I am trying to associate my door tags with my door schedule and visa versa. I get as far as creating the Door Schedule with all the doors on it and quantified just the way you would want to see it; however, the "Mark" remains "A" for every door. I discovered that I can change the Mark on the extended properties of each door, but I believe there should be a better (and more linked) way to accomplish this. Since the program already recognizes how many doors there are of a specific style it should be able to put sequential "marks" to each door, for example "A", "B", "C", etc.
what's the difference between Door Tags - Project Based and regular Door Tags?

--Is there a way to do a door schedule by styles rather than individual door?
--To clarify: I want my door schedule to create a new door number only when one or more of the property sets, classifications, or door styles pertaining to a door are not defined by other doors in the schedule. This would facilitate giving the same door number to multiple doors that have matching schedule information, and cut down on my schedule size.
--how to do this. If I need to create custom tags, schedules, or formula properties.

How can the dimensions for the system family door be shown in the door schedule?
I tried to make a instance paramater, type parameter, both through shared parameter for the doors in the family file, but they are still not showing up.

I am trying to model an electrical junction box but just cant trim some of the unwanted portions inside the junction box.
I have placed two solids, one merged into the other so that there is no gap between them and the transition is uniform. now i want to remove the extra bit of piece left inside.
surprisingly the trim command is not working ...

Is there a command or lisp that will allow you to select a closed polyline and trim everything outside of it even if the items are blocks that aren’t exploded?
I’ve tried EXTRIM but that fails on blocks.

Is there a way of trimming an SDF or SHP file with multiple polygons within a boundary buffer zone, but keep the entire of all of the crossing polygons.
I have managed to create a feature overlay for the trimming selection but the 'Union' command creates a new layer with all of both SDF files I'm comparing, not just the ones within the buffer zone.

I created a structural member of Pro-Panel II and placed it like a column. This works great, except when I need to trim the excess off at the end of a wall. I tried using a body modifies and it works in model view, but it doesn't in plan view.

How to trim an array? I want to trim out array items as if using a crossing window, not as the trim command does. See attachments. I want to be able to trim as in array 2, not as array 1.

Has noticed that the offset command has changed in 2010? (unless i am going mad) see image below. i'm sure if you offset a polyline, with no node at the crossing point, in pre-2010, it would end up as second image.

But now i get the 3rd and 4th types, which i admit is pretty good for offsetting both sides and deleting original construction line, but not always better that the original method. Is there a variable or option somewhere to change the performance?

how to cut or split more than one face of a surface model in one go. The only way (it seems) is to use the Trim command for every face you need to trim, whereas I want to choose the cutting tool (a plane or face) and then choose a whole lot of faces (by holding CTRL and clicking the faces) and trim them all in one go. Is this possible? I can do this in Fusion, but Fusion is way too slow on my PC compared to Inventor.
I also tried extruding a sketch through the surfaces to cut them, but it doesn't work (Inventor complains that there aren't any solids to cut).

So I make a line and then make an arc on that line. I dimension the arc so that it is 180 degrees and I dimension it with a specific length. I then use the rectangular pattern command to copy multiple arcs onto this line. I now need to trim the bottoms of the arcs away (the parts of the line under each arc) But once I select the trim command I cannot trim this area! The lines I need to trim won't even highlight. It appears they are locked by a dimension made when I copied the arcs across the line. This dimension doesn't appear to be able to be deleted.

I drew the polar arrayed rectangle as attached and tried to trim the inside lines to create an octagon but i cant trim the object.
However, if i try the same thing without polar arraying ( i.e just by drawing the two rectangles similarly) it works. I would like to know what might be causing this.

A coworker and I are having the same problem with dimensions. For example, we have a polyline that has been dimensioned and then we will either need to trim or break a small portion out. When we trim or break the line the dimensions on that line fly all over the place so we end up needed to re-dimension everything. We have had this problem in AutoCAD 2008, 2010, and 2011. Maybe we need to change a variable? The polylines have a zero Z-axis and it does not happen everytime we trim or break but enough to become annoying. Our CAD Manager had as try to disassociate the dimension, break the line, and then reassociate it but that didn't work; the dimensions were still shifted around.

I drawning 2 circle as radius 250mm.the distance between two circle is 0.08mm I drawing one line segment between two circle and I Expanding line segment as length 20mm.then I offset this line The amount 2.5 mm in vertical side up.
When I trim these horizontal line that are Cross-Being with two circle the Remaining line segment is shorter than real distance between two arcs I thinks its happening?
Also I attached 7 pics I try show my problem.
Also when I want obtain horizontal distance with distance command or by linear the intersection is not start from circumference.
whats this and how I can get real horizontal distance between two arcs

I need to trim a part that intersects with many other parts in several different sub-assemblies - on an angle.
**Attached is an image of my problem.
Split tool is disabled. It is only usable once I drill down into the assembly/part - it will not select the other cutting objects higher up the browser stack.They become ghosted.
What I need is a tool that projects intersection lines. Does Inventor have something like this? Standard projection lines on the part is not working because the cutting objects are not 90 degrees angled to the part to be cut.
This may be easy,.. I am just not seeing a way to do this with out a bunch of work-a-rounds.

I am working with a drawing provided to me by someone else, and where there should be arcs they have multiple line segments. I need a radius for what I'm doing, so I drew a circle with TTR and then tried to trim against the tangent lines to get my arc. However, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. why this doesn't always work?

we just recently went from 2008 to 2010 Autocad Architecture. the windows from a 2008 file had the windows in the smart walls and would trim the wall... however, i opened the file in 2010 and all the windows are showing up, but not trimming the smart wall.

When I trim or move a block (roof trim mostly) there is an outline of the block I am working on, I know the solution, if you move the block over, it moves but the outline stays where the block used to be, then I copy it back and delete the outline or original block that made the outline and its back to normal.
-Trim BUg02 is my trim after its been trimmed with mysterious outline left over
-Trim Bug03 is my trim after being moved with mysterious outline left in objects original place

I am using AutoCad Architecture 2011. In the Style Manager, I created a wall style using a 8"CMU unit plus a 2" insulation board. I have a gable roof slab that intersects with the wall. I want to trim the insulation board along the bottom of the roof slab, and show the CMU above the roof slab.

I'm trying to sweep six circles along 6 3d sketches however I receive the 'The attempted operation had problems trimming and discarding faces. Try again with different outputs.
I have been suffering with the above error message and i am at my wits end. I've tried tracing the the geometry, played dot to dot joining up the points but to no avail. Some sweeps work and others don't.

Drawing based on .ipn shows (should not show) surfaces used to trim, even their visibility are turned off.
Drawing is normal if based on .iam.
Only one part of the assembly is the problem. Other parts, also with trimming surfaces, are shown normal.
Please see images in .pdf attached.

I was making buttons for my nav bar and I had some trouble. I wanted the rounded rectangles as the buttons, but I can't get just the rounded part of the rectangle. For example. I make the button in IR just as I want it, with a transparent background and everything. How do I save it as a jpg so as to get just the rounded rectangle, and not all the white background? I know I can trim it down, but there's still the white around the borders. How do you save a non-square-like area?

I wan to trim / crop a layer which falls out of the canvas. From I search I did it turns out that by selecting all and the crop will do the job, but in my case it does not and I do not understand why.
Here is an image to see what I am talking about.
