Summary

IntersectWith problem of insert

Solution

The drawing you send contain lines which are not in the same plane, the z values of these lines are different in 4th decimal place.
You can try to change the lunits precision from 3 to 10 and explode the insert object. Then click on the lines to see their Start and EndPoint in the propertyList to see that z differs
 
VectorDraw uses by default four(4) digit equality to test if  a point is on a plane.
 
Solution:
 
Change the global variable : VectorDraw.Geometry.Globals.DefaultPointOnPlaneEquality = 0.001;

Then you can call trim command or IntersectWith.
