Relimit Shapes by Distance

On the Shape tab, in the Move/Copy group: Click Relimit Shapes by Distance to relimit a set of shapes by adjusting either their front points or their end points, or both. (Ctrl+R,S)

Input Source

Select the Source of the data that will be used as input to the function:

Selection Design elements you have interactively selected in the Design Window.
Visible Design elements that are visible in the loaded layer. Elements that have been specifically hidden are excluded. This a quick way of selecting all visible elements in a layer without having to explicitly select them.
Layer One or more layers that you select. Names of layers currently loaded in the Design Window are shown in bold.

 

For large datasets, for performance reasons you may prefer to select a layer rather than load that layer and select all of the elements in the layer.

Selecting a non-applicable layer will have no effect. In most cases, an error icon will indicate that the chosen input layer is not valid. Hover over the icon to view a validation hint.

Shape Adjustment Locations

Choose where the distance adjustment will take place:

Start Relimit the Start points of the selected, visible or layer shapes.
End Relimit the End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes.
Start and End Relimit both the Start points and the End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes.

Adjustment Distance

Specify a Distance value by which to adjust the Start/End points in the direction of the vectors of those points.

Specify a positive number to Extend. Specify a negative number to Trim.

Apply

A Preview of the adjustment is shown. Click Apply to apply the adjustment (or Cancel).

Note: An in-place replacement of the Start/End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes is made. If necessary, click Undo to restore the original points.
