How to Trim a Block in AutoCAD?

You can trim objects inside block only by editing it in Block Editor or by editing it "In-place". But keep in mind that all block instances in the current drawing will be changed. Alternatively you have to EXPLODE the block.

AutoCAD block is a whole, if you need to cut the block, here are three ways I suggest. 

The first way: with the command is possible, xc, enter xc, but the premise of cutting the block, selected after n. In the selection of rectangular on the line, with the rectangle you want to box, on the line

Method 2: directly draw a rectangle, think you want to use the rectangle box. Then tr, left-click the rectangle drawn, and then right-click, and then drag the selected lines do not want, you can! Do not select the rectangle inside.

Method three. Select the one you want, ctrl + c and then the blank place ctrl + v. Or co selected the one you want, and then the blank place, click on it.

More methods, if you are intercepted to another map, then select the graphics you need, use the copy under the editor, and then click to paste to the drawing you use; if you have to use cass, it is more simple, use the closed polyline to outline the required graphics, and then use the local storage under the feature editing command, directly export graphics

You can first blow up the graphics, copy the part you want and then paste it. Select the block you need ctrl+x, and then ctrl+v to the drawing you need on top of it.

Command input qselect

Explanation of the Quick Select dialog box.

Apply to

Applies the filter to the entire graph or to the current selection set (if it exists). To select the set of objects in which the filter will be applied, use the Select Objects button. When you have finished selecting objects, press ENTER to redisplay the dialog. "Apply to" will be set to "Current Selection".

If "Append to current selection set" is selected, the filter will be applied to the entire drawing.

Selecting objects

Temporarily closes the Quick Select dialog box, allowing the user to select the object to which the filter will be applied. Press ENTER to return to the Quick Select dialog box. Change the Apply To box to display the Current Selection. The Select Objects button is only available if Include in New Selection Set is selected and the Append to Current Selection Set option is cleared.

Object Type

Specify the type of objects to be included in the filter criteria. If the filter criteria is being applied to the entire drawing, the Object Types list contains all object types, including custom ones. Otherwise, the list contains only the object types of the selected objects.

Besides using a LISP routine, I use the FILTER tool and have a selection set saved. Just make sure the only filter is "Block" and you can drag+select the entire drawing to grab only blocks. Usually I have to do this a few times due to nested blocks.
