Trim Splines

Post by Tiggr » Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:10 am

Hi!

I'm using QCAD 3.0 (I've paid for it, don't know, if there is still a community edition - and I realy like qcad for being easy to use).

Is there a way to trim a spline to a line?

I would like to trim the spline to the selected line...

Hi,

Make sure Line "B" is connected to your Spline "C".

Select Spline "C" and use the "Explode" Tool (Menue -> Modify) to convert the Spline into a Polyline.

Use a second time the "Explode" Tool to convert now this Polyline into a Line.

Now you can use the trim, break out, delete or what ever tools on this "Modified Spline.

Hi!

Ah! Exploding two times! I've stopped after the first explode! :oops:

Thank you very much!
