It allows you to trim things up and not remove anything. So you do the trim, if you just press done right away, it will not remove anything and leave all the trimmed up pieces in place. You have the option to "select" the pieces in the trim, and then choose to "Remove" or "Keep" the selected pieces before you hit done.

Hi rabbit, in your image you wrote: "Shouldn't this be push done to _remove_ all?"

The problem is that removing every single cut up piece would not really be useful - that would just be the equivalent of deleting the whole object that was being trimmed.

That option where you can push "Done" (or right-click) without selecting any pieces is if you don't want to remove anything and instead keep all the cut up pieces.

So for example say we want to trim this circle with the 2 lines as the cutting objects:



After you have selected the cutting objects, Trim will show you all the fragments where the circle has been cut by the line pieces. If you want to get rid of some part of the circle, you can select those now and then push Done (or right-click):






However, if you want to just cut the circle up into pieces and not remove anything yet, you can do that by pushing "Done" or right-clicking without selecting any pieces at all. That will cut the circle up and leave all the pieces behind. At first it will look the same as it originally did but if you go select things you will see that there are now multiple pieces like this:



- Michael

To have the one tool with the ability to perform in many ways is far more powerful. It could be made to just pick, pick, pick, trimdelete.... But to also have the option to leave all pieces, remove selected or keep selected is way better than a simple pick and trimdelete tool. Dont you think?
