Is there a way to clip multiple lines with a polyline or polygon?

[Markus Barrera-Kolb]

Is there a way that I can trim or clip multiple lines in one operation with a polyline or polygon? In the attached example, I'd like to trim the horizontal lines so that they're confined to the interior of the polygon. As far as I can tell, both the trim and split tool will require multiple operations to accomplish this. Is there a way to do it in one step?

By the way, this wouldn't be an issue if it was possible to set an origin for the hatch pattern assigned to a specific object -- here I'm trying to display a specific siding pattern that needs to start at a particular height...

BTW, there is no attached example, but I think I understand.

Select all involved lines and polylines/polygons, use Modify>Intersect Surface..voila. May have to delete polyline/polygon, depending on needs.

Thants Gytis, you're right, somehow the file didn't load -- but you're also right about Intersect Surface: it does exactly what I'm looking for! I didn't expect that it would work on lines as well as surfaces...

you can define a hatch origin if you use a non- associative hatch

Thanks Ian, you're right, I forgot about non-associative hatches!
