If you have several segments with overshoots as shown in the image attached and you want to clear the overshoots and make a closed polygon, you will probably use "trim" command.

There is an alternative way to do this faster.

Use the bpoly command.

After using this command, a dialog box opens and you have to pick a point inside the closed area.

Please note that this works only for "closed" areas.

A polygon is formed at the boundary of closed area.

You can now erase the original entities and use the closed polygon thus formed.
