You can access this tool from the following:
When using this tool, before accepting the trim, you can adjust the various tool settings to suit.
When selecting elements for trimming, the selected portion of the element is retained. Before accepting the trim, you can turn on Flip 1st, or Flip 2nd, for the first or second selected element respectively. These toggles reverse the portion that is retained and are useful if you inadvertently select the wrong portion.
