Hello! My vocab is failing me--every program uses a different term! I would like to clip/trim/cut/break all lines at their intersection with another line. How is this achieved? Thank you!

Thanks for all the input! As it turns out, my memory of this trimming effect is from drafting/GIS programs; AutoCAD, MicroStation, and ArcMap, not from FreeHand at all. Thanks again!

Have you tried the plug in I mentioned, it is free for 100 uses and worth the small shareware fee and works inCS4.

I looked at it; thank you! Certainly fits the bill, but my organization discourages the use of plugins, etc. I'll muddle on!

Select all the lines go to the Pathfinder Panel and click on the outline icon bottom row second from right

UnGroup the result if you wish.

So the only way to do this is by losing all the attributes of the lines? That's.... crummy.
