Hello,
You can easily achieve a precise trim with the boolean operation "difference".
1 - draw a rectangle 2 - draw a circle 3 - select both 4 - menu : Path / Difference 5 - you get a rectangle with a missing corner 6 - "break the path" on a node and suppress nodes or segments as you wish.
This procedure is explained in the Inkscape "advanced tutorial" in the menu Help.
You could also use Clipping or Masking.
Regards

(Unless I've completely misunderstood your request...)

Hi!
I would like to achieve a trim/extent feature like in
many CAD-like
application can be found.
Here is a little screenshot what I trying to do: http://khiraly.googlepages.com/trim_extend.png
Here are the steps what I did: There are two lines and a circle, so
- I converted the circle to path
- I opened up the circle
- I duplicated the line, and go to the Path->Cut
Path menuitem
- I repeated the above step to the other line
Sadly this precedure involves some imprecisement, I
zoomed into, and
created this screenshot: http://khiraly.googlepages.com/circle-imprecise.png
Can somebody propose a precodure where the result is
mathematically
correct, and does not have imprecisement? Needless to say, that I cant union the three paths
together...
Or should I wait until a trim/extend tool arrives? (I
use rev 20844, from
today)
Any ideas?
Best regards, Khiraly
