    I'm doing a simple design.Sort of a sunburst. Central circle, external
    square. I used cookie cutter trim to trim off radial lines. And I find that
    my results aren't perfect. It's too late to go back and see what I might
    have done "wrong" and I don't think I did anything wrong. Does anybody else
    have knowledge or experience with Cookie Cutter not quite working? That is,
    off by a hair.

  2. Is EDGEMODE set to 1 or 0?

    Is EDGEMODE set to 1 or 0?

    0.

    Changed to 1. No diff. From the help, it wouldn't address the issue.

    Draw a rectangle. Draw a line from well in the center to just barely over to
    the outside. Cookiecutter can fail to trim. Draw long enough line and it
    works fine.

    The other issue I had, I can't duplicate now.

  4. If the routine uses the TRIM command, I don't think you can trim a closed
    pline with a line that only crosses it once unless EDGMODE is set to 1.
    Conceptually that would be a BREAK, not a TRIM.
