    forgoten how to erase lines in AutoCAD

    How do i erase a line in AutoCAD. i mean if i click on the line to erase just a piece of it say after a interscetion the whole line will erase not just a piece of it.

    i have tried exploding the whole drawing but it will not let me explode them

    What do i do now?

    You could use "OSSnap" and then the" break" command..

    Are you using the trim (tr) command? Select the line(s) you want to trim to, then click the portion you want to trim.

    what do u mean by OSSnap

    What do u mean use the "OSSnap". i know what the break command is. but if i want to erase. okay imagine a noughts and crosses game ie 2 lines parralell and 2 lines parralell and at 90degress to each other, if i want to erase just one of the lines of the square in the noughts and crosseshow do i do it?

    All that it is doing is erasing the whole line. it is not stopping from erasing at the intersection but the whole line is being erased.

    i know there is somthing that u can do to fix this. because i remember this happening at TAFE Colledge.

    but now have forgoten how to do it.
