In Creo 11.0, you can now trim self-intersecting composite curves in Sketcher, adding more flexibility for modifying composite curves created with the Project or Offset tools. Previously, self-intersecting composite curves could not be trimmed.

For example, if a composite curve intersects itself, like the upper curve in the image below, which was created by projecting the lower curve, you can now trim the curve using the point of self-intersection to determine which segment to trim.
