Fence Command in trimming or extending lines

[amy]

Does VW have a fence command similar to AutoCad that allows you to trim or extend a large number of lines at the same time by drawing a line through all the lines you want to extend?

Check out the suite of add ons purchasable from VectorPlug-ins for US$36.

The VP MULTIPLE LINE EXTEND tool in this suite will do what you want.

There is a way to fence stretch lines and polygons (but not rectangles) in VW now. If you use the edit/reshape polygon tool, you can draw a rectangular marquee around points that you want to stretch. Clicking on a point and dragging will strectch them to where you want. It will only stretch the points (handles) on objects that are selected, for single or multiple items. One minor downside compared to Acad is that you can only draw a rect. marquee and not a polygon shaped one. I came across this after using Acad for a couple years and find it handy in a lot of drafting situations.
