Function Description:

Relative Glossary:

**Select object:**Select objects to define extension boundary.

Shift-select to trim:
Trim selected object at the nearest boundary rather than extend it. It provides a convenient way to switch between "Trim" and "Extend".

**Crossing:**Select object internal the rectangle area or intersected with the rectangle area. The rectangle area is defined by two points.
**Note:**If it is uncertain for some objects to be extended by crossing selected, the EXTEND command will select object along the clockwise direction from the first selected point.

**Project:**Use the projection to extend object.

**None:**No projection. It will only extend objects that intersected with selected boundary in 3D space.

Ucs: Specify projection on the XY plane of current UCS. It will extend objects without intersection with selected boundary in 3D space.

View: Specify projection along the direction of current observation. It will extend objects that intersected with selected boundary in current view.

Edge: Extend an object to a hidden edge of another object or extend it to an intersection edge in 3D space.

**Extend:**Extend an object along its nature path to an intersection edge of another object or a hidden edge.
