Trim function doesn't seem to work.

I have drawn a square and a circle with the circle centered at the midpoint of one side of the square.  I would like to trim away the parts of the circle overlapping with the square, but nothing happens when I choose the trim function and click on the parts of the circle.  To see the trim function appear in the ribbon at the top, I click on "Sketch" and then click on the trim scissor icon.

Are you editing the sketch that has the geometry in it or did you create a new sketch?

You will need to "edit" your existing sketch.

clicking sketch on the top creates a new sketch.

Also, trim will only trim entities that are intersected by other entity's in the Same sketch.

I originally created a new sketch with just those two shapes in it to try to solve my problem.
