I am using Wildfire 2.0 and when I trim entities, the resulting lines do not join at the "cut". I have to impose a coincindent constraint. Does anyone have a clue what I am talking about? PLEASE HELP!. Its driving me crazy
 
Which trim are you using? There is a "dynamic trim" where you just wave the mouse around & it cuts every thing it crosses & the old fashioned trim where you have to select the entities to trim one pair at a time. I've had problems with the "dynamic trim" not giving common endpoints. Go back with the old fashioned trim & it should fix your problem. I almost never use the dynamic trim for this reason.
 
dgallup, I always use the dynamic trim but most of the time there is never a problem.
 
I see the same thing occasionally even in WF4. I've never tried to determine whether it's repeatable or not. I just use the "corner" function to make them coincident when it happens.
