TRIM
This function is used to trim a blank using a closed curve trim line(s). The trimming operation is processed based on a defined vector/direction. The user can decide to keep the elements inside/outside of the trim line. These discarded elements are included in a new part called TRIMOUT.
After a trim line
is selected, the user has to define a vector (direction of projection) for the
trim curve, that is, W-direction or global Z-axis, from the LCS dialog box (as
described in Section 2.5). The user can then set the trimming tolerance from
the dialog box as shown in Figure

NOTE: Prior to performing the trimming operation, the user must define the blank properties.
