Hold on…the SOLIDWORKS Power Trim tool can Extend too?!

The SOLIDWORKS Power Trim tool is amazing.  With a quick click and swipe you can trim a sketch line up to the next entity.

SOLIDWORKS Power Trim Extend

There’s also the little red box to undo the last line you trimmed if you were a little trim-happy.

Did you know that the Power Trim can do more than just trim?  That’s right, this single tool can also extend lines!

1. If you hold down Shift and click/drag across a line, it will extend the line up to the next entity.
2. But wait, there’s more!  Without holding any key, you can click on a line and drag it out as far as you want.  Even snap it on another entity.
