Sketcher Extend edge

This tool trims an edge to the nearest overlapping edge.

Press the Trimming button. The mouse pointer turns into a white cross with a red trim symbol.
Click on the edge that you want to trim.
The line segment will be trimmed to the nearest overlapping line(s). If there are other sketch elements on both sides of the clicked position, the clicked piece is cut out.
Pressing Esc or pressing the right mouse button will terminate the function.

Arcs of hyperbola, arcs of parabola and B-splines cannot be trimmed in FreeCAD 0.18 and before.
